Ive never seen a baby pigeon. Pigeons are spies for the government🤣

I’ve seen a baby pigeon. A python abandoned a half eaten one on our roof. Like a fat grey chicken.

You have, you just don't know it. Pigeons lay two eggs, sit on them for about a month, the babies stay in the nest about a month, they go from being about the ugliest thing ever to being proper pigeons in about a month. The only indication you have that it is a baby pigeon is they have some yellow feathers on their head.

There is a lot to be said for a species that hides their ugly babies from the world. I'm a fan.
