Why don't we ever see baby pigeons?

Question

Why don't we ever see baby pigeons?

Answer 1

Because they stay on the nest until nearly full size.  Once you see them, they just look like small pigeons.

Answer 2

When a pigeon is first hatched it will be about the size of your thumb, With in one week it will be the size of your fist, week two it will have lost its down feathers and started to grow feathers like the adult pigeons,

week three it will be fully feathered walking about pecking for food. Week four the pigeon will look just like an adult pigeon and start flying.

I have kept pigeons for years people always ask your Q

I always show them what a baby pigeon looks like.

Answer 3

you do. Everywhere you see pigions, there are babies.

You just don't know it.

Pigions keep there nest high up in trees or other things. Such as 34-60 feet.

Also, you know how Purple Martins[type of bird] live in those White things WAY high up in the sky?

Some times, Pigions eat the babies from the Purple Martins, and they move in.

Weird, i know.

I have seen that happen once from a video camera we put in one, because of the disapearence of our birds, and we saw it happen. I threw up.

It was horable.

Answer 4

Type it into the "search for questions" box and you'll see it's been asked eleven times before you did, so there's loads of answers to choose from.

The real answer is simply that they don't leave the nest until they are fully developed birds.

Answer 8

Pigeons make their nests in high places and places that keep them hidden (under your AC, in a powerbox)

Answer 9

everyone has seen baby pigeons but think they are adults when they're not. adult pigeons are around the size of a crow but the baby pigeons are about the same size as a collared dove. but the best thing to do to see if they are baby or not shoot them you get a better look at them. i have shoot 210 to this day and can tell whiether it's a baby or not.
