Today is the day my smaller pigeon flew!

The smaller chink now eats from the normal height seed container! I used to feed it in a special lower container but I don't have to do it any more!
As soon as I open the food door on the side of my coop, it flaps and makes a really loud squeaky sound. It seems just a week or two weeks behind the bigger one.

The smaller chick is getting stronger and stronger, it became really loud! It stands and walks ok but still unsteady at times. It started to flap its wings
a couple of days ago finally but it had a problem spreading its right wing. I thought it could be paralysed but today, it was sort of able to spread its
both wings fully. It was stretching its wings everyday and it seemed to work. Hope it will be just as good as the other one!

Finally the smaller chick can be standing all the time! I started to let it practice walking on a rock yesterday and I guess it worked out really well.
It was walking and standing on the rock without having to sit down for more than 30 min. My almost two weeks of efforts (make sure it's eating and drinking)
twice a day were rewarded. It also stared to make a proper noise like the bigger one.

The bigger chick can almost fly. The smaller one "positive" is walking around! Unsteadily though. But its legs are getting stronger day by day so hopefully
it will be as good as the bigger one.

The two pigeons I set free the other day did not come back. But I have two chicks.
One of the chicks is a bit weak compared to the other one due to the lack of nutrition during the breeding time. Especially their legs. However it was
rotating using its legs yesterday and today it was standing finally! Hope it will be strong. Its name is "positive".

I let two of my pigeons go, those that laid eggs, incubated them and bred the chicks. They've done a brilliant job.
The reason why I let them go is because those two have been having very watery droppings recently and I thought they might want to fly.
I left the front gate open for the first time and the cock first jumped on the floor of the gate and couldn't believe it was open.
It leant its head to one side and the other side, wondered what's going on. It went back in once and came back on the floor and went back again.
Then it called the hen and they were together on the floor of the front entrance. They kissed each other twice, and they flew off.
It was beautiful. They haven't come back yet but hope fully they are back tomorrow morning. Hope Kyuss and Hanna are ok.
