    Oh my, how did this photo happen?

      Well, I visited Foça and came across a breeder of doves – and he showed me the little ones…

        Oh, OK, that makes me feel a bit better, I thought they had been abandoned or something.

          No – I think he was well taken care of.

    Awww! Look at the beak and the claws. This bird is kind of like that French word jolie-laid, pretty-ugly. What a wonderful pic.

    With you handling it, was it rejected by its parents or was it already an outcast or orphan? Do you raise pegeons?

      No, I met a professional breeder – he held the pigeon and I took the picture…

    are you sure that’s a dove? looks like a vulture…hehe cute, yet so ugly only a mother could love! haha

      Well, the guy was only raising doves – but I’m not an expert on birds – so a vulture might have slipped in the nursery…

      Thank you again.
      Yes, it is rare to see such a young bird.
      I met a guy in Turkey once who nursed doves and showed me some of his “babies”.
