MOM JUST GAVE BABY A LITTLE "PIGEON MILK". BABY SEEMS HUNGRY. DAD WAS OUT IN THE YARD AND I DIDN'T REALIZE IT. HE WALKS UP AND MOM LEAVES. DAD STILL WOULDN'T FEED AND BABY GRABBED DAD BY TOP BEAK. STILL WOULD NOT FEED. WONDERING IF FOOD IS THE MOTIVATION FOR PIGEONS TO FLEDGE?

I got some expiriance on pigeon nest watching and at look of it father want to start another clutch. Note he is doing nest calls (look cooooo-s, which is call that male pigeon do to call out female to new nest site) and he also sits all time on other side, he clearly wants to start new nest there. Because all pigeons and doves can only lay 2 eggs pair (but there very rare exceptions) they usally nest more then once per year as long weather allows and (in case of feral/rock pigeons that use buildings to nest where there more space) sometimes they do that even with still non-flaged baby. Might be also reason why father losing interest in current chick. Current chick is nearly ready to flage, it will be ready when feathers grow under the wings (and i seen in videos he still little naked there), those feathers grow the last and without them it risky to flage for a pigeon.

Also parents feed with crop milk in first days, as baby grows they feed them with seeds that they gethered in crop.

:eggthumbup: THANKS SHADOWRIVER! I NOTICED DADS INTEREST AND TURNING IN BOWL OF RIGHT CORNER AND HAVE SEEN HIM LAY DOWN THERE. IT DID CROSS MY MIND THAT HE IS READY FOR ROUND TWO. I HAVE READ THAT THEY CAN NEST AS MANY AS 4-5 TIMES THROUGH OUT THE YEAR IN RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES. I KNEW ABOUT THE MILK, BUT DID NOT KNOW HOW LONG THAT SUPPLY WOULD LAST. SHE MUST BE GIVING HIM THE SEED NOW AS FEEDS WERE A LITTLE SHORTER IT SEEMED TO ME. I REALLY NEED TO READ MORE ABOUT THEM, AS SO FAR I'VE LOOKED UP ABOUT THE MILK, BUT DIDN'T READ OR DON'T RECALL HOW LONG THAT LASTS. IT IS A VERY SPECIAL, TREAT TO WATCH THEM AND I THINK THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL AND LOVE THEIR GENTLE WAYS AND SOOTHING CALLS!!! :5val:AND WELCOME TO BCAW, GLAD YOU HAVE JOINED US!!! :dancegirl: :smile: :smile: :smile:

:egg17: SKYGIRLBLUE, I THINK WE NEED TO FIND A SPECIAL SITE WITH A NICE PIGEON CAM SO WE CAN CONTINUE OUR PEACEFUL JOURNEY! :egglaugh:

Later on female came and daddy again tried to show her that he wants new eggs, by flapping wings and doing nest calls:

Image

but female seems not amused, in such cases female usually comes and start penning male feathers, you know typical pigeon-style of showing love ;] I guess she is not ready yet for another clutch

Update:

Baby learns how to peck out food from ground, so everything going good :) unfortunately he has nothing to play other then his "mess" :p

So...I just read that pigeons generally fledge around day 30...so, if baby hatched on 5/28...we have a few more days to go...

Hour ago daddy was calling somewhere, baby hear him and was exaited, not sure if he wanted to summon the baby out of the nest or calling mom. Baby clearly wants to flage (so he can bag parents all the time ;]), when daddy tease him he start to test his wings and going more to the lauge, but it does not feel ready i guess :p

And thanks skygirlblue, you know you are the fault i'm here, i was kind of shocked seeing pigeons in your videos :p 1. I love watching pigeon nests 2. This is interesting situation, pigeon in falcon nest, want to see how this end up and still daddy wants to have another turn there ^^ As for gifs i'm using software called Gyazo, it let you quickly do screen shots and animated gifs and automatically upload them.

Well, I'm very glad you decided to join us!!

Last year there actually was a pigeon cam. Can't remember where, and I have no clue where I stored the link to even see if it was live this year...I'll need to go searching..
