The Dove Family

Doves -

My buddy “M” from work sent me this picture.

They have been following the progress of this little family ever since they discovered either Mommy or Daddy Dove (who can tell Doves apart) sitting on eggs in a nest in a hanging basket of petunias on their balcony.

They have been watering the plant with a turkey baster – that way both the birds and the plant can survive.

I wonder if they’ll get to see the little one(s) fly from the nest.
Thanks so much for sharing K&M

We have a nest just like yours outside our Pharmacy window. The young birds are doing great. Please look after yours!

Wow, I didn't know they could next on a petunia plant. We have a tree outside our apt were they next every year.

So cute!
