The Latest Addition to our Garden

Recently, we have been visited by two baby Woodpigeons about 4 times a day. The two babies are usually accompanied by an adult, who is often knocked off the fence by the two offspring as it feeds them.
I will get a photo when I can.

Ok, here are the two images, both taken out from my bedroom window. (The wood the pigeons are sitting on doesn't belong to us; it is our neighbours sitting area thingy)

This one shows how good a Woodpigeon brood relationship is:


And I mam quite worried about this one. He seems to have a bad beak. Is this normal in baby Woodpigeons?:

Great photos. I'm not sure whether that is normal for wood pigeons, it's difficult to see clearly in the photo what the beak actually looks like.

Cheers guys. Well, the base of the beak looks very white and mouly.
