Here is a picture of two of mine that hatched on the 16th August.

This was a couple of days ago. Yours looks like it's going to be a nice dark colour.

No. Fortunately they were both hatched and raised by the parents.

Do you have a cage for him to go in when your out or is he just loose around the house! I used to have a pair of lovebirds that flew around the house and they chewed the top of all the pictures! I don't think pigeons will do that though!

 

[LauraMunro]

Haha yes sounds easier lol! Its great you get to see them growing though

 

[LauraMunro]

Just now he is loose but if i go out i usually have someone else to keep an eye on him! As he cant fly its a bit easier just now lol!

He is doing great! He is about 4 weeks now, hes not eating fully on his own but he is pecking at everything he sees and has eaten a few seeds! He is constantly preening and stretching which is the cutest thing ever lol!! Also he has been giving his wings a good flap! Think hes a bit behind as his feathers arent fully in yet but as @biophiliac mentioned i think its expected due to hand rearing! Heres some pictures from last night when he decided he liked my laptop lol!!

Oh my goodness! He looks so good! You're doing awesome with him!
