Um... my experience of animal lifespans is limited, but I have some confidence when I say that the baby monkey would have outlived its mother too...

But if it had been able to stay with it's mother (although she did abandon it for whatever the reason), it would have learned to be a monkey. What are you teaching it now? To be a pigeon?

Well as a Pigeon it will live.
In the wild it would have died, probably abandoned due to some perceived weakness.
So really, dead or monkey Pigeon?

They obviously bonded over their mutual passion for carrying man-killing virus.

Oh yes.
That.
Wonder what we'll have next year?
I'm betting Salmon Flu, I can easily imagine shoals of salmon swimming along sneezing and wheezing.

How can you have avian bird flu? That's like saying bovine cow flu.

Inrun, I think you're taking this way too seriously.
Regardless of what it's learning, the fact is that it's still alive. Just because it's befriended a pigeon doesn't make it any less of a monkey. I'm sure the zoologists or what not, will try and place it with monkey's when it's slightly older. But until then, it needs to be cared for and if the pigeon is fulfilling that need, than leave it at that.
The same situation happened with a girl raised by wolves when she was abandoned at 3 (or 5, either way, she was pretty young). I don't know about you, but I'd rather see her alive and being raised by wolves than dead in hopes of her learning as a human.
