The pheasant pigeon chick nests

[The Rabbit of Tsukuda] October 7, 2016 14:00

One morning in September, as usual, when I was strolling along the Sumida River Terrace of Ishikawajima Park, I heard a pee and a very thin bird from overhead. Look up,

Something is flying in front of you. What's the matter? If you look well, there,

There are two pheasant pigeon chicks looking at them. Whether you are worried about the disappearance of parent birds, or if you are worried about the strange creatures you see for the first time?

I was sorry, but I decided to watch the nest gently.

 

Here around the Sumida River Terrace in Ishikawajima Park, I was able to see a set of pheasant pigeons on a regular basis. Maybe they are the chicks.

It's quite big on the third day of the meeting. They have the same wings as their parents. The pheasant pigeon seems to lay two eggs at a time.

On the seventh day of the meeting, the nesting of the chicks is two weeks after hatching, is it almost time? I encountered a parent bird today! You haven't been standing yet.

The pheasant pigeon does not come to catch the food that humans sow like earth pigeons. From now on, I have to look for food myself. There were many typhoons in September, and it was raining on this nesting day, but it will surely grow strong.

Kiji pigeons are often paired, so if you see them, be sure to look for another one.
