So here is the pigeon nest in the potted dragon tree on my balcony now.  Baby pigeons not only start out ugly-looking, they stay that way.  I had baby chickens when I was little, and they are way cuter, and  more precocious.  Baby chickens scurry around almost from the beginning.  Pigeon chicks are late bloomers.  They stay in the nest for a long time being fed and watched over.  This parent pigeon did not trust the big staring eye of the camera being pointed at them!
