Mr. and Mrs. Birdbrain Mourning Dove are the proud parents of twins! I have been a good girl and I have left this nest completely alone since I noticed it last month ... it's been killing me, I tell ya. The other day, curiosity got the better of me and I set up my ladder to take a quick peek. This is what I saw:
Judging from their size, it's not going to be long before these babies leave the nest. Mama and Papa have been going in and out of the greenhouse easily, so I have no reason to believe that it won't be the same for the babies when it's time for them to fly. I will keep an eye out till then, just in case I need to perform another rescue .
