Baby pigeon confusion! Empty

So, my 2 adopted pigeons had an UH Oh baby and at about 5 days they stopped sitting on him so I placed him under my pigeon who was sitting on unfertill eggs so he could stay warm. I removed the eggs and she took right to the baby as if he was her own. The problem? My little lady, Lexxi, thinks I'm her mate. I put my hand over the baby so she can leave to get food and water, but do I have to hand feed it sometimes as cock would do? And how confused is this poor little baby going to be after being raised by a human AND a pigeon? I named him Mr. Chewwy Waffle and i would just like some advice on what I should do to help my girl out. THANKS and I'll postpictures or a video soon!

He's so lovely!!! I love it/them

You know, if he turns out to be a boy, there's a good chance he will eventually become Lexxi's mate, and that gets you off the hook! Laughing
I've never raised one from day one, but if you're taking on the 'father' role, I think some supplemental feeding will be called for -- but I'll ask around! Be careful with Kaytee Exact, though, I've just heard that there's a recall for a bad batch going on right now:
