Final Pigeon Pictures

PICTURE	DESCRIPTION
Medium (700 x 525) Large (2272 x 1704)	This is the last bunch of pictures of the pigeon chick on my balcony. It seemed to be doing really well, but on the morning of March 2nd I discovered that the pigeon chick was dead. I'm guessing it had something to do with the cold weather. These first few pictures were taken in the evening on February 25th. The chick still had only some yellow fuzz and no real feathers yet. I don't think it was able to see very much yet either.

Medium (700 x 525) Large (2272 x 1704)	March 1st. This is the last time I saw the pigeon chick alive. It seemed to be doing so well today too. The feathers were really growing in, and over the last few days it was making alot of chirping noises as it spoke to its parents.
