No fighting spirit

14 FEB 2012
I let Ronnie out of his cage early this morning.   He will be hungry tonight because he does not yet fight for his food like the other birds.   Neither does he follow the feeders in the neighborhood.   It is time he finds his overnight perch in the trees.   I have noticed an adult bird of his type near him often.  The only time she pecked him is when he wanted to climb into the cage while she was inside.  I thought that she was just mean to the little bird.   Is it possible that she is his mommy and did not want him to be in the cage overnight?
Ronnie came back to the cage again at 5pm and the adult dove was outside the cage next to him while he happily pecked at the seeds in the cage.  
We put him by the window in the spare room for the night, as usual.
