Our neighbour had 6 white ones like yours for ages and they were lovely, flying about, then one day there were 12. He discovered that his Doos had flown down to the village, found half a dozen owned by a man down there and invited them back here! Neighbour had 12 for ages, man from the village most upset - now neighbour has none! Touche! You'd better have plenty of feed in just in case of Doo visitors!

We found that we needed to have a good sized flock, of around 20 or so, as more pairs of eyes protect them from the horrible sparrowhawk who thinks dovecotes are his McDonalds! (Sorry if you love sparrowhawks ...we don't any more, as they have taken too many of our doves and left several horribly injured) We also have a few female pigeons that the boys brought back after a day in the village!! (Boys eh?!) It's lovely to see them flying and they do become quite tame.Judi Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02184492213665154752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336145835316960935.post-49338244362343990582012-08-24T16:06:45.372+01:002012-08-24T16:06:45.372+01:00Just watch the doves don't start mating with p...Just watch the doves don't start mating with pigeons!
