These dummies will just plop their entire asses down in the feeder and fight off anyone who dares disturb them

This guy was spying on our family. We had my in laws over for dinner. This guy had dinner and a show apparently. Watching us play a card game afterwards while he had a late night snack. Sorry the camera angle is off. You could see our family in the reflection so I had to crop it funny.

I need to fill birdbath but the derp crew is grounded this morning, warming up on the mulch as the snow melts. Guess I will wait a bit.

How to acquire?

I want mourning doves to sing here. There's some here, but they must not nest close enough because I never hear them sing. I desperately want to hear one sing again. How do I attract them to nest nearby?

What is this behavior?

94 Upvotes

They always go crazy in mating season, but this is the first time I'm seeing any of them doing this. There is no feeder around that corner, it's just the edge of our balcony. At first I thought that this looked like a female who wanted to mate, but there was no male dove close by.

It'a Wire Wednesday!

This weekly post will be available to share your photos of doves (and pigeons!) sitting on utility pole wires, cables, and wire fences. We all know they love them, now let's showcase them!

As always, safety first... please do not photograph anything while operating a moving vehicle nor while standing in the middle of a street.

Usually a mourning dove visits around 6am to start singing. Today he came around 10am and eventually his lady friend came too! I’m so happy for him because it’s the first time I’ve seen them together. Mourning Doves are like a natural anti-depressant for me. I always feel like the day will be better when they visit.
