Mother Love

I had to clean the balcony. I just had to. So I pulled out my cleaning gear and started cleaning. But I did not want to clean the nest, yet. There were two eggs on the nest and their mother was watching them. I set some perimeter of the area to be cleaned and started cleaning.
The pigeon mother was panicked and flew. A moment later a smaller pigeon - I assumed the father - came to check the situation and left, or ran away. The pigeon mother then came - slowly - and went back to the nest. She put her alarmed position and tried to protect her eggs. She took the risk of dangering herself in order to protecting her kids. That is mother love ...
