Fledglings on balcony, one out of the nest
EDIT: It looked like the baby on the ground was trying to get back up onto the chair. I approached it really gently and slowly and picked it up with a tshirt and placed it back into the nest and chair. I'll keep a close eye on them.
Hi, this is my first time posting and I apologise if this might not be the correct flair. I had a pigeon lay two eggs over a month or so ago and they've hatched and grown older now. They'd usually stay in the nest on the chair on the right but today one or them either flew/jumped or fell off of it. I've only lived here a year and the previous tenants have a netting at the bottom of the balcony and the one that had come out of the nest was trying to fly but couldn't because of the railing in the way. It's sitting on the ground now beneath my balcony table and I'm wondering what I should do?
I tried moving the chair on the left back a tiny bit to see if it had enough room to try flying up onto it. I haven't stepped foot on the balcony since the mother lay the eggs because I wanted to give them space. I'm just a bit worried it might be stuck on the ground. The parents usually come every few few hours or so to feed them. Should I wait until then or possibly intervene? I have a tshirt prepared to try and gently pick them up from the floor but I'm waiting to see what happens first. Any help is appreciated, I'm really new to this.
