Royal Squabs
An afternoon visit from Donald the caretaker of Royal Hotel apartments with a royal surprise.
Workmen fixing the attic ceiling area came across 5 baby pigeons (squabs). The parent birds have been using the broken skylight to access the attic for nesting. Having reared squabs last year I knew I could take care of this lot although 2 of them are tiny and about 4 days old, another one is half grown, and the other two are developing their spiky feather shafts. Fortunately for them, my last years experience will mean they have a good chance of survival.
