Baby Pigeon Learning to Fly Colouring Page

A young pigeon spreads its growing wings as it begins a short flight from a low branch. Its feathered body, open wings and little feet capture a moment of practice and discovery. The nearby perch gives a sense of where the bird started, while the clear space around its wings makes the flying pose easy to enjoy. How to colour: Use pale warm grey for the young pigeon's body, blue-grey for the wings and a slightly darker slate grey along the longer flight feathers. Keep the neck softly grey, and colour the feet dusty pink and the bill charcoal. Use warm brown for the branch and leaf green for any leaves. Start each feather with a light layer, then pull short strokes from its base towards its tip. Add gentle grey shading under the body and leave narrow pale edges on the feathers so the spread wings remain distinct.
