This baby king pigeon hatched 3/21 at the Wulf foster aviary. It is only the
3rd oops baby pigeon (there were, ahem, a few oops baby doves!) to hatch in
a MickaCoo foster in 3.5 years (the first two happened in my aviary). This
baby's parents are Scout & Faith. You can see more about them at
www.MickaCoo.org and there will be more baby pix
at www.RescueReport.org
MickaCoo foster pigeons' and doves' real eggs are replaced with fake eggs as
birth control (and to delay the hen re-laying for at least a month). With
almost 300 pigeons and doves in foster care, we probably pull about 25 real
eggs month and on occasion, it is possible to miss one. (We give many of
the eggs to the artist J Brooke Patterson http://www.jbrooke.com who does
magical art with them and is a MickaCoo supporter).
Pigeons and doves are very family oriented and it's sad to have to steal
their real eggs. I wish I lived in a world with enough compassion and
responsibility that our birds could hatch a baby now and then. Click on
