The feathered pair stops by daily for food! 
It is interesting to watch their interaction. The male normally does not eat while we are feeding them. He stands guard, about 2 feet behind the female, and allows her to eat as much as she wants. 
Once she is finished, he will approach and eat whatever bread she leaves on the ground. She is getting plumper by the day so I guess we can assume she has eggs. I imagine once the young ones arrive, my front yard will become a "family style" restaurant!

We have a pair that wander though our lot most days too. Sometimes Doc flushes them out, like pheasants, LOL. They are cute. Keep up updated on your zoo.
