Child's love
Children's affection is recognizable quite visibly the younger children are. The adult pigeon seems rather comfortable, there's still quite a time left until this seemingly unconditional love disappears and the offspring grows. Not a child anymore, nor an adult yet. From time to time it disappears on both sides. In such times a child might try to find the affection elsewhere yet a young mind doesn't recognize certain patterns and can end up being exploited. This look of the small chick metaphorically reminds me of descriptions in one book. A young girl, like the chick, full of hopes and the felt affection crumbling until she finds herself with barely any. An art class emerges, the teacher needs only a few crafty words, not even some sophisticated manipulation, just listening. Great book, nasty things.
