Massive thanks to Arif of mumtazticloft.com for allowing us to use these images of his baby Turkish Tumbler pigeons for this chart.

31 day old pigeons

Once pigeons reach 30 days old they are fledglings and are ready to leave the nest.

By this time they look more or less like a fully grown adult pigeon (which is why you never see baby pigeons), the only giveaway of their age is their slightly fluffier, cleaner-looking feathers.

Dan has been fascinated with pigeons since his youth when he used to feed them breadcrumbs at the local park. With a background in SEO Dan noticed a few years ago that there were very few websites around dedicated to his favorite bird so he set out to change that by starting Pigeonpedia.
