This little cutie is named Nippi! Nippi is what's known as an Oops Baby. An oops baby is a pigeon who is hatched in captivity despite our best efforts to swap the eggs each time a female lays. Palomacy and its volunteers work diligently to replace all eggs with fake eggs to prevent hatching. This is a form of birth or population control. Sometimes despite our best effort at swapping the eggs, a sneaky and clever pigeon couple will often lay a surprise third egg and hide it well! Then 21 days later—poof! An oops baby is hatched! We love Nippi regardless of being an oops baby, and they are already placed in a loving foster-to-adopt home! Hooray for Nippi!!Please apply to adopt http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/apply-to-foster-or-adopt/
