PIGEON FEED'S BABIES

While browsing the internet, We have found a lot of queries regarding why we are unable to see the baby pigeons. We learnt that mostly because the pigeons hatch on high rise buildings, small gaps of windows and they are very sensitive of being watched and so submissive but yet very non coperative. That is why they are called a symbol of peace. The pigeons lay eggs and hatch for a period of three weeks and normally they lay two eggs and hatch them. The hatching is being done by both mother and father pigeons by turn i.e., mother taking night shift and father taking day shift. The eggs break and baby pigeons come out in three weeks. Then again, the baby sitting is done in the same way., by turns. The feeding is mostly done by both of them.

We have had the opportunity of watching all these happenings, as one pigeon hatched behind our outdoor AC unit in our third floor balcony. All the video files were taken by us with the mobile, keeping it still near them, as you cannot stand near them and take pictures, as they fly away. Mind it, they are very sensitive and afraid of people at this stage. Hours of video files captured in our mobile were edited and presented to you in three capsule files.
