[cobirds] Love Doves, Douglas County

Yesterday, on the 13th day of Christmas, Barb pointed out to me no French hens, no partridge in a tree, but she did point out seven "turtle doves" on the roof of a house at 10766 N Sunshine Dr, Littleton, south of Chatfield State Park. My guess is that they were released at a wedding or funeral, went AWOL, and are now sticking together, ready to breed and populate Colorado and beyond. Collared-doves, watch out.


What were we doing there? Temporarily lost while looking for another all-white bird, Joe Roller's recent Trumpeter Swan, which we managed to find later, after correcting our errors. Thank you, Joe.

BTW, if you want to own your own Love Doves, here is a place that sells them very young, called "squeakers." http://www.whitepigeonsales.com/about_our_birds

Cheers,
