Learning to Fly --how long does it take?

[pigeoninfested]

I have a pigeon on my balcony that was born about 4 weeks ago. I'd like my balcony back, but don't want to hurt the bird. Is there anything I can do to speed up the process? Is there anywhere in Long Beach I could take him? If I move him downstairs using gloves, will his parents take him to a new home? Help me please.

Hello pigeoninfested,

If your bird is 4 weeks old he/she will br flying away in the next few days, certainly within a week. It would be better not to interfere. You will be able to wait for a little while, won`t you?

By the way, you need to create a thread of your own so that other members will reply. You are now using somebodyelse's thread. I made the same mistake when I joined the forum.

Good luck with your baby pigeon, Gladys

Hi mr Squeaks and Linda,

I'm still in Montevideo but will be back in France first week in May. The building where I live here has no balconies even if the windows are enormous with a nice view on the coast but the ledges are too narrow to invite any nesting pigeons!! But I do visit the forum from time to time just to keep in touch. Thanks for writing. Gladys
