"Yeah, this morning I saw pigeons flying here, then I went upstairs and found them. Look, pigeon eggs."
Xiaomi held onto Liu Qingxuan with one hand to prevent him from falling out the window, while sticking her head out to look.
Sure enough, just outside the window, on the eaves of the second floor, was a simple nest made of twigs with two eggs inside.
Very small, they indeed looked like pigeon eggs.
"But that's strange, don't pigeons normally not lay eggs in winter?"
Pigeons are not like chickens, ducks, or geese. Generally, birds don't lay eggs in winter, especially since the winters here are quite cold.
"They don't lay eggs? But those are definitely pigeon eggs." Liu Qingxuan was very sure he hadn't been mistaken.
Xiaomi pulled Liu Qingxuan aside: "Move over a bit, I'll get those two eggs. Eggs laid in winter can't be hatched, so I might as well take them back and see if a hen can hatch them."
