Why Don’t You See Baby Pigeons?

Have you ever wondered why in spite of the numerous pigeons we see in our cities that we never see baby pigeons. The BBC has a video on nesting behavior and how chicks are raised by city pigeons or Rock Dove Columba livia   at BBC – Earth – Why don’t you ever see baby pigeons?

    It’s C. livia, fwiw. I know a place you can see babies, along the northern side of the Rincon Building. The nest is low enough to get a peek.

      Thanks for the correction and comment. I had the genus spelled wrong originally as well. Corrections always appreciated.
