Update on our new edition.....


Thank you all so much for the help. Here are a couple more questions
1) How do I clean this baby? We get so messy, every once in a while he/she will shake his/her head and food goes flying...lol. I know how to clean me up but what about the baby?
2) I'm trying to determine the age and here is a picture of a baby that looks like mine. Can anyone help?

As for the baby, he/she is doing great. It is so neat to do this. My dad and I raised a couple of pigeons when I was about 8, but that was almost 30 years ago. I forgot how fun it was. I say goodmorning and this baby responds with chirps and an almost clucking noise. I am looking forward to all the adventures, etc.

ah ha


Just looked at the pictures of Sara, I'm guess our baby is between 20 to 25 days old.
Thank you.
Think we'll name him/her Be-Bop...hmmmmm.

It is indeed a wonderful experience to raise those sweet babies.
I am so glad he is doing good.
The baby in the pic you posted should be around two-three weeks old. At three weeks they have more feathers and less yellow fluff.

You can clean the baby with a warm damp cloth. Make sure he is dry when putting him back into his nest.

Have fun with Be-Bop, cause they grow sooooo fast.
