We have three doves who visit daily. The single fella gets bolshy when the couple are about. He's chilled out a bit lately, thinking he might have found a mate at last.

And then something proper special happened. The couple brought their kiddo to visit us!

This NQR miniature spotted dove dropped in for walnuts and chilled with us for an arvo. Kiddo was totally awkward and bit of an introvert and I hope he comes to visit often.

Been a big week for our local spotted doves.

They come and ask for walnuts. We love to share. The sparrows get amongst it too. They bring their kids along. The doves tolerate them.

One of the sparrow teenagers decided he didn't want the dove hanging around anymore. Things got weird.
