There´s decent food and water.... it´s a mini paradise, why would they want to leave? :lol:

I haven´t seen Pepper all day. But he is young and has the whole world to explore....

Lucky doves! I'm so happy you're feeding them. They are my favorite birds at my feeder and always visit for breakfast and dinner. What type of seeds were in the seed mix that they liked so much?

I'm not 100% sure. I think some sort of corn and split peas too..

I think I will buy a sack next time and use it when I go to the park :)

Dobby was looking pretty scruffy lately and it's still nice and warm so we stuffed him in his shower cage today and he was LOVING it. He was doing similar things with his wings and hanging upside down doing the shower eagle and everything. Most birds love a nice warm shower.

Sorry not the best pic. Been sat there for a half hour now. Mum and dad were here earlier but have eaten and left. I can't see them out there.

Pretty sure they are sticking with you for life :laugh: They know how good they’ve got it! They probably don’t wanna be “seen” stopping in too much though- then they’d have to share their new found paradise lol

Next time buy this sort instead. Much better seeds.
It can be sprouted for them and your lovies.
The one you got can not be sprouted.

Maybe... but I don´t mind :)
I enjoy looking out and seeing the happy couple eating, drinking and relaxing on my railing.

My parents arrive tomorrow for a holiday, so I might not see the doves for about a week. I´ll be sure to keep the banquet flowing ;) I will know if they have been.

That shower video is so cute!
Right? I was like ¨ah I bet they´ve gone to take cover under the trees at the top of the street...¨ and I look out and see them having a bath :laugh: Makes sense because they have never bathed in my water.
They have also never pooped on my balcony, not from being on the railing. They hold it and poop on the street light :D

Next time buy this sort instead. Much better seeds.
I will have a look and see if there´s another mix next time :)
I won´t share foods with my birds. I keep the tubs apart in my home too.

So glad to hear your little one left. What a gem you are for taking care of him and sharing his progress with us! I've never seen doves lift their wings for an outdoor shower!

So I had a burning question.......

Where do they go??

I see the parents whizz off the the left when they leave .. So where do they go?

When I picked up my parents, I went inside and watched from the balcony. I was waiting a long time for them to arrive and then I saw them hop to my balcony, they had been in the tree infront the whole time.
Watch where they go when they leave.....

Doves isn't so active so if they have food that will fed them to 100% they will be close and just chill between meals.
My doves are never far away. And when they sees me outside they stalk me. :D
It did seams like they was coming from another balcony before going to the tree?

Aww.... thank you for sharing with me! Those moments with the wild are truly very special!
Yes it is. ♥ That never happened again (but I still have hope) but I remember it like it was yesterday.

Yes, that is mine :)
I was waiting to see them a long time. And they were in that tree all the time. I saw threm fly to my balcony, so I made the video of them leaving my balcony and they went back to the tree :)
