yes shez.. they do look ugly .. you might be able to tame them if you spend enough time taking their photograph ..
great shot .. i can see that as they grow they'll become quite beautiful .. i'm getting glimpses now altho vague .. !! :)
It is fortunate that it does not take long for them to become big birds. They are not the cutest of babies before they get feathers. I have a couple of small flocks of doves that come to eat the left over feed from my parrot cages, and they are very pretty and docile birds.
