| Not yorkie but pigeon related Ok i know this is so far away from yorkies as you get but i have 3 pet pigeons and bubbles layed to eggs and she has an adopted egg too (so 3 in total she is sitting on) well mum looked out the window bout an hr ago and saw a shell on the floor not sure if one had hatched or they had thrown it out the nest we went to investigate and low and behold the adopted egg has hatched and is sitting there quite comfy under its new mummy, It is the smallest bundle of yellow fluff i have ever seen!!! lets hope bubbles is a good mum and it feeds ok otherwise i will have to be nurse made to baby every 2 hrs through the day and night!!! So we are holding or breath on baby being ok and hope the others that are her babies hatch ok. |

| My dh was repairing the roof on an old church one year, when he called me to come to the church on my lunch hour - he had something for me. I got all excited - flowers? jewelry? chocolate, even? I got there and he handed me a box with the butt-ugliest little creature that was obviously a nakkie bird, but way to big for anything I had ever seen. I took it home, showed my dtr(about 5 at the time) and we decided it was an eagle. I couldn't be with it to feed it so I took it to the vet who was in touch with a lady who took in orphaned animals of any age and raised them until they could be released. It turns out, it was a pigeon. My dtr never forgave me for letting her think she had saved an eagle, lol. Congrats on the babies and can't wait to see pics. BTW, what is the little yellow baby?

| Lol thanks guys the little yellow ball of fluff is another baby pigeon and pictures will be along as soon as bubbles stops attacking me for going near her, when we first saw the baby i had my head in the house thing so i could move her to look and she flew straight at me to get me out so i might sit in there for little while and wait for them to do the change over so i can grab a pic but i might need a peck proof suit!!! she is so protective for those of you that have been in contact with geese when they have babies and how protective they are bubbles is a smaller version of that LOL x x x Oh and yes they do regurgatate to feed them but that you wont see me doing!!!

| Lol you guys have seriously never seen a baby pigeon lol, we was suprised it turned out all yellow as we thought it was a wood pigeon coz the egg was slightly bigger oh how wrong were we as far as we are aware because it is all yellow with no apparent pigementation sprog will infact be white but is def still a pigeon!!! And it is fur/fluff at the mo like a duckling before the feathers come through! very soft to touch not that i have touched this particular baby, but have hand reared quite a few baby birds along the way but this is a complete first for me coz we have only started having the pigeons since last year (after hand rearing mum) and this little sprog is our first baby! Feel free to give sprog a name coz i dont suppose it will like keep being called sprog but it has to be universal coz we wont know what the sex of it is until its 6 months+ And i will keep you updated with pics along the way providing mum doesnt eat us first x x x x |

| OK bad news struck the household this morning, i went to check on the baby as it has been a few days, and baby pigeon is missing. We have no idea what happened or where it is but its safe to say little guy is with the pigeons in the sky There is no trace of it at all like it was never there!!! no blood, fluff nothing!!!! so im sitting here a little deflated and all i want to do is cry!! you maybe thinking its just a baby bird but this was our first baby. i am sooooo gutted |
