Hello dear Steemians
I remember the other day surfing on my facebook news feed until i came across an interesting article Why Do You Never See Baby Pigeons? on I fucking love science facebook page wich is i had that question several years ago! until this year my brother is raising Pigeons here on the house told me exactly the same as the article mentioned based on his experience!
My brother told me that baby pigeons wont leave the nest until they grow some feathers and are able to fly and that can take sometimes a full month!
Here's what a 2 days after hatching baby pigeon will look like
You can see clearly that he's almost naked and he have a yellow small feathers, he'll open his eyes on the 5th day after hatching.
Here's an 2 Weeks baby Pigeon from another nest
He still needs to grow some more feathers maybe a 1 week or more so he will be able to fly.
Although im not into raising pigeons and birds in general because it's hard, plus their poop smells horrible and cause some diseases! but watching them grow up on their nests and how they develop their feathers and eventually start flying high in the sky is amazing.

Thanks for reading, i hope you like my article and have a good day
