Juvenile Wood Pigeon

In late summer, we discovered a very late nest on the edge of our walnut tree. It had one juvenile Pigeon, who apparently could not fly.

Next day, the Pigeon was gone, so we looked around and found on the ground, still unable to fly.

So we left him a few hours to see if the parents would come back, but nothing did. So we converted our Guinea Pigs' outdoor cage into a Pigeon home!

We gave him some wheat and sunflower seeds, along with a few Worms and Snails etc.

Th next day we noticed he had disappeared, and we assume that he managed to fly!
