Its been 4 days now since the grey baby pigeon fledged, but the white baby just does not seem to want to leave the pigeon house.
Dad has been calling to it from the roof tops nearby, but all to no avail.
The grey baby now only gets fed by dad as a reward when it flies up to the roof of our house.
It even seems like the white baby is not being fed any more when the parents return to the nest.
Dad has even resorted to grabbing the white baby by the scruff of the neck, in his beak, and trying to tip it off the edge of the bird house, he has not succeeded so far, except the white baby did for a short while manage to get onto the top of the bird house, and again dad tried to push him off, so the baby flapped and crawled back into the bird house.
I am starting to get a little concerned for the white baby.
I put the small water bowl into the bird house so they could all drink during the sweltering hot weather, as the white baby seemed not to be getting much pigeon milk.
