My friends the morning doves

That's sweet! I don't have a bird feeder but sometimes doves come to the kitchen window If I leave some crums out for them. I used to have a parrot when I was a kid, so I can say I really like birds, and in general all animals. :)

Oh yes! We have corn for the squirrels and birds, and bird feeders too. We've had all sorts visiting through the winter, but now a lot more mourning doves have been coming around and a few other types of birds as well. I saw three robins the other day in the front yard, so there's hope for spring yet!

I couldn't afford to put out seed this winter like I usually do. I do put out suet on the trees for them though, and dried bread and fruit when it gets older and too mushy to eat. I love watching the birds! I have a feeder by my picture window in the living room and when they come to nibble, they can't see me but I can see them. I took apart the gingerbread house my grandson made at Christmas and put the pieces in an old mesh onion bag...boy, did they ever love that lol. I do feed the humming birds once they start arriving in the area. I felt bad that I couldn't feed them like I usually do this year. Maybe next year I hope!

While I don't have a bird feeder around my house right now, I do think mourning doves are pretty cool. Did you know that the sound they make when flying away is actually from the air whistling through their wings?
