Yes, me too.
Sadly, doves are not great best builders, but they often find creative little spots to hatch and raise their babies.
There has been a nesting pair of doves, and probably some of their offspring by now, return to the same nest for about 5 years in a row now. It's amazing every spring when they arrive to stake out that shady spot under the gazebo where last year's nest has been vacant for 12 months.
[edit] I didn't mention the nest is in a hanging planted pot. The nest was originally built by another bird species, I forget which, and the doves commandeered the nest. It's been theirs for 5 years now. They rarely, if at all, make improvements.
Awwwww i was sooo sorry they left. She had found a spoke right in the corner of the window sill which was kinda deep...i didn't know she was there except for her cooing
Awww, lovely little coos. I love dovely coos.
I do too.....they're so calming and they're just lovely birds....each time i would hear or see one, i thanked God because they just represent the graciousness and peace of God for me.
Exactly! For me too. Little Sable helps with my anxiety so much. I can truly see why doves are a symbol of peace.
I had two mallards when I was a kid. When I graduated from college I had a small finch aviary. I haven't had pet birds for a long time now. I get a lot of backyard birds, though. Here's a watercolor I did of a young Northern Cardinal. View attachment 204836
