I think I could have grabbed one real quick if I had food to throw down for them.
They come very close...they aren't even scared of people.

So many people have turned their ring neck doves loose, it's not even funny how many there are across the state nowdays. I have a resident pair that hangs out around my pens.

There are a billion parking lot pigeons here too.

Not really, sometimes I have hens that are larger than my cock birds. You'll notice the change when their head feathers start coming in, gray at first then changing to the buff color of the females and the black and white of the males....body plumage will look the same for both male and female.
Post a pic anyway, if you don't mind, I'd like to take a 'gander' at them!

Here is a video of the babies..... my flash on my phone wouldn’t work as soon as I went outside to take pictures of the adults.

Here is the best picture I could get of the adults. Of course they all ran and were sure I was going to eat them.

Don't you know you should never stare an animal in the eyes....freaks them out...that's what predators do! horses are bad about it, too! Almost every wild animal is that way.

My horses didn’t get that memo apparently. Guinness, my old boy looks at me directly, though not through both because that’s difficult seeing as they can’t see as well in front of them. My Mastiff stares into my eyes, and I’ve never once saw malicition behind them, only pure adoration.

You want some? I’ll get you wild caught doves.

We have about 40 living in our trees. Some are white with the black markings.

Head count on Batch #2 6 girls and 5 boys. That is encouraging.
Total now 10 girls and 10 boys. Batting 500! That little red blush popped up. Now if it just holds like this. We will be doing well. Will be keeping egg layers.
