Lucky you! She must have been there for about 18 days, which is the incubation for pigeons. The down is yellow at first, and the big buggy eyes are probably still closed. The squabs [that's the term normally used for baby pigeons] are quite helpless at this stage.
I hope they don't get disturbed at all. Squabs first have to reach almost adult size before they dare to take their first flight, around 6 weeks.
You may get a chance at developing a friendship [if you have a lot of patience].
