There is a bird nest (pigeon) in one of the corner windows of my hostel bathroom. I discovered its existence only after the eggs were laid. Yes, the eggs did come first.
The eggs were hatched nearly two weeks ago and two baby pigeons have come to life. The features have grown thick by now. One of the baby pigeons appears to be sick; it is much smaller in built than his/her brother/sister and looked rather frail whenever I saw them by the window. Yesterday it fell down to the bathroom floor and some good soul has put the poor baby pigeon back where it should be. My friend thinks that the poor baby pigeon might be having some defect in its vision and going by the look it could be true.
I hope it survives and grow up into a healthy bird before they decide to fly away into the wild. I hope it is able to follow his/her parents to a safer destination.
Will they leave him/her behind if it is not able to fly like it should?
I have a phobia of chicks just out of the nests. Or else I could have taken a keener interest in observing this poor baby pigeon.
