Doves!

[binny]

we have a pair of Doves that have nested near our home on a light standard and they are so great!
They spend a lot of time in our yard so I listen to them "purr" and "coo" I love the sounds they make!
Theyre beautiful too.

Do you have any Doves or other great birds around you that you like?

My parents had a pair of white doves that came every year for several years. They loved seeing them. They didn't come back last year

My DH started a bird feeder last year and yes he has "his" doves always coming around for their food. This year he's really pleased as they come right up to him and wait while he refills their feeder. They're such a calming bird to watch and listen to. This year they've brought a "little one" with them.

We don't have any wite doves, but Mourning Doves are very common here. I agree, they are very peaceful to watch and listen to. Also, they are one of the few types of birds that mate for life.

We have quite a flock of Band Tailed Pigeons at our apt. I also see Turkey Vultures and Red Tailed Hawks alot.

One out of Seven birds we get at the hospital is a MoDo (mourning dove)

Man those things are hard to force feed!!!

I have been watching a Mourning Dove with it's young baby (can't see yet whether there's one or two babies) who has nested in my neighbour's evestrough across from my kitchen window. Today I saw a baby trying to flap it's wings but it's not very old and the adult soon nestled over it.
