Little doves

An update on the little doves. They are not that small anymore. Yesterday they left the nest but they have been staying close by, on the ground, right next to the mother. They are almost her size. I guess they don't know how to fly because if we go outside they just walk and hide under the plants. After a while they go back to the same spot.

It was so much fun seeing them grow. At first the mother never left the nest and then she started leaving them by themselves for longer periods of time. The last couple of days she was almost never there but she was watching them from the roof. I guess she was encouraging them to leave the nest and once they did, she joined them again on the ground. They are the cutest thing!
