Vaccinations for a young pigeon

[photokev]

Hi All.
I recently rescued a very young pigeon from drowning in a local river. It seems his/her parents built their nest under a dock and the baby fell out into the water.

A few weeks later and the baby is pretty much full grown with only a little of his yellow "peach fuzz" remaining. He's doing great and has really bonded with me, my dog and a rehab dove I've had for over a year (hit by a car)

Someone told me I should take it to the vet to be vaccinated but they weren't sure what for. They also said I should do it before it gets much older. Any thoughts? Also, is thier an actual "breed" name for this guy/girl? (see photos)

Here's a link to some snaps

The dove has it's own streaming webcam (chickencam) my girlfriend named her chicken, go figure...
