Thanks Janet and Nycbird!
It both sounds logical.
I think now I will look all the time when I see a pigeon if there is a shell stick to her feathers.

Today when I was working in my garden a pigeon landed on the wooden thing (picture 1)
She was very close to me, suddenly I heard: "plats" or something like that,  I looked up and saw a broken egg right under the pigeon. I know it really is a pigeon egg. The egg was empty, there was nothing inside, no kind of liquid orso.
I'm sure two minutes before the moment the shells were not there!! So I'm wondering what happened, is it possible that a pigeon lays an empty egg a  kind of test egg orso?

Yesterday when I was outside, I saw something strange. I walked closer and closer. At least I saw the head of a pigeon on a body  what looks liked it was only a half part. And lots of feathers everywhere. I thought that it was impossible that this pigeon could survive. But I couldn't let him die there. With some help I put him in a box. Everybody needs to have a box in their car for moments like this.
I drove very fast to the bird shelter and look when they took him out the box he looks a lot better.
It's a young pigeon, he lost lots of feathers and one wing was broken. 4 people  came to help him, they were all very nice. They told me that pigeons can drop their feathers when they have extreme stress or when a cat takes them, it gives them a possibility to escape.
Most of the birds that are taken to this shelter are pigeons, but they make no difference, they help every bird. I'm sure my pigeon is in good hands.

Then it must be poop|

It sounds crazy but I prefer poop!!!!!
I think its a good sign that a bird is on the egg. !

It looks like the egg is broken!!! 
What do you think?
