Yes, baby/young doves and pigeons are very warm to the touch.

sometimes their feet even feel as though they're burning you!

I'm pretty sure i read that pigeons and doves don't get high temperatures when they're sick, their bodies actually become colder.

If you're worried, just make sure the heated rice sock is in a corner so that she has room to get away from it if it's making her too hot

If she were too hot, she would open her wings out to try to cool.

I had a Question Again,
I have been noticing that there are white feathers appearing on "Sky Daw's"
Tail and the downside of the wings is also turning white, is it fine?!
and Sky daw even Lost some fur on the Crop area!

The white feathers are probably just fine. If you can find some pictures of an adult dove of the same type as Sky Daw, you should be able to tell whether or not the white feathering is normal or not.

She is adorable. So tiny!

I think she will fly very soon...
What type of seeds is she eating now, and where are you keeping her?
I'm glad she is growing up healthily

Im not Really feeding her any seeds as yet, I feed her soaked dog food, peas and rice, Im keeping her in a Cage tht i managed to get frm some friend
But soon i will have to go to bangkok as my Exam is Approaching, wat should I do ..Should i take her long ??, But tht place isnt much spacy..there are many dogs in the neighbourhood and Sky daw cant completely have food by herself infact she just started frm today and I dont intend to keep her in a Cage forever .I'll let her go as soon as she is Self dependent! Any Suggestions ??
