Is it a Pigeon or a Dove?

[ronnie jo]

Hi guys,
I found a baby Pigeon or Dove.I would say it is about 15 days old. I looked at the sight that showed the day to day progress and she appears to be most like the 15 day old. On browsing and finding my way around your forum i have noticed that pictures of the babies seem quite big compared to the peoples hands. My baby can nestle comfortably in my hand with room to spare. I am starting to think she must be a Dove. I live in Australia (W.A. Perth) Her beak also seems to be narrower. As I write this letter I am thinking that if I can work out how to do it i will post a picture of her. Her name is "Cutie" which I think all you bird lovers out there would be able to relate to how she got her name. It was going to be "Cutie Pie" But I thought the PIE bit might give her a bit of a complex.LOL
