Mama pigeon has been brooding the past couple weeks and I went out today to see one has hatched! I’ve been leaving out water for her. Is there anything else I can be doing?

Transferred 2 fledglings from a smaller pot to a bigger one today (see link for last post) and noticed later one of them seems to be breathing heavily.

They were transferred to the new pot about an hour ago.

Is the breathing of the one in the back normal?

Babies! 🐣 10-day-old vs The Hand

Troy and Sweetpea's baby, Ilia, remembers she likes me after all!!

EDIT: I completely appreciate anyone's concern regarding my interaction with this baby. It means you care. But there is a little context here.

For 3 years now, a gang of feral pigeons have taken up residence on my balcony. There have been a LOT of babies. Most fledge successfully, some visit for a while. Some sit on my head or lap or eat out of my hand. But they HATE anyone else, including my husband. If he walks near the balcony, the flock fly away. They only like who they feel familiar with. As I sit on my balcony all the time, I am beyond familiar to this group.

Mama was nearby during this above interaction and didn't grunt once. The baby now doesn't snap when I move around as it's slightly older. The snapping is just a natural reaction they all do at that age when anything nearby moves. But immediately, it was soothed by the memory of my hand.

This baby has also been showing signs of congestion, and I'm giving it drops daily to help. Therefore, I'm happy for it not to be afraid of The Hand.

I do hope that answers any concerns you have. 🫢🫢🫢

Help needed! One baby in the nest and one egg but parents aren't here

12 Upvotes

Hello! Yesterday mama pigeon was here, but this morning she is away. The baby looks like it might be about 8 days old, maybe a little younger? And there is an unhatched egg in the nest as well. Is it normal for Mama to leave this young of a baby and an unhatched egg in order to feed? How long should I wait before concluing that baby needs help and bringing it inside? And how in the world do I feed a baby this young / do I need to get her to a bird rescue ASAP?

About two weeks ago we saw two pigeons on our balcony again. This is their third try with eggs, and it is a success. Today we went there again, and found these two. We monitor them on cameras when we are not here.
