I have never seen baby pigeons before! And until you posted this, it never occurred to me that I'd never seen baby pigeons. Thanks!

I have an image of the same name in my portfolio which is also of a parent bird feeding their chick. This is a nice example of behaviour but doesn't work for me on a visual level. The dark beaks don't show up well against the dark breast of the adult. The foreground colour competes for attention with the subject. The composition isn't particularly attention grabbing. But I do like the subject matter.
