They're probably diseased.

At least in principle I wouldn't have much of a problem eating pigeon eggs. I'm not sure if I'd try them scrambled or hard-boiled. Something like that probably could be doctored up with enough spices and vegetables in an omlet so that it'd be at least mildly palatable. That said, I'm not going to try to climb around trying to find pigeon eggs - too much risk of something else coming out of the pigeon and landing on my head.

. . . well, I've had the misfortune of trying pigeon meat once, and that didn't go all that well; I think I'd be too disturbed by that experience to try to eat something that would eventually become a pigeon.

I have heard of plover eggs being eaten in England. I suppose the little pigeon egg is ok, but not for me. I would think of the pigeon.

I don't even know if other birds eggs are safe to eat. I remember smelling an egg of a bird and it didn't smell nice. I think I'll stick with hen's eggs!
