Above: Whisper and Creamsicle's baby. I was kind of hoping for a girl, but I'm seeing some hints of orange cheek patches. There are no indications of a male's black-striped breast bars or speckled flanks, though, and its beak is orange like a female's beak. A male's beak is more red. The baby is still getting its adult coloring, so it's too soon to tell for sure! Edited 12/18/11 to add: He's a boy! His brown flank feathers are starting to peep out, and I'm seeing a few black stripes on his chest. Quite a handsome little fella'! :-)
Above: Whisper and Creamsicle's baby again.
Above: Baby dove, settling in for bed, with Daddy dove in the background. :-) (Excuse the cage wires. I couldn't get any closer without startling them.)
