Among feral pigeons, fledglings are inseparable for a month or so after leaving the nest, then they go their separate ways. After that they treat one another the same way that they would treat any member of the flock. The circumstances of the separation are no doubt causing stress for the bird, but the timing of him becoming independent is about right. You could add a little bit of chamomile tea to his drinking water to help with the stress.
