  I sometimes come across a dead baby pigeon inside my work building, a large manufacturing structure many pigeons find their way into. Presumably the death is from falling out of the kind of nest in OP’s image.

  Ever seen a Dodo bird? Imagine that but smaller and more fucked up. The reason for this is because the Dodo bird was a type of pigeon that had developed neotenic traits which combined with island gigantism resulted in the ever beloved but extict island bird we know and nourn today.

  Also neoteny is the retention of juvenile traits into adulthood.

  Pigeons spend a long time in the nest, so if they survive long enough to leave, they’ll basically look like regular pigeons

  At least, that’s what they want you to think

  They look like grey feathered balls of fur with a wrinkly head.

  I’ve seen baby doves, which look pretty damn close to pigeons, and I can assure you that they are quite hideous.
