Baby Pigeons

Our first baby pigeon was born on the first of March, shortly followed by three or four more. They are ugly little things at first!

[flickr_set id=”72157640154148585″] I took a couple of pictures, which didn’t come out very well at all. The light inside a nest makes a flash necessary, and the photos were pretty bad. Of course, I could go and try again, but now, three weeks later, they look like any other pigeon, with only a hump on their beak to show they’re immature.

These little guys are the ones we will be keeping. As they get bigger, we will start releasing them. We’ll build them a new home and train them to it. We may even start “taking them down the road”, part of the “homing” training.
