i'll upload the video to my substack later. i really should sign up for #Peertube since i don't want to post these on #Youtube. but i heard you have to request to be able to use a peertube instance since someone has to host them.
but then again, i don't know much about it

Look who came to me at the pool wanting seeds💙

Left is a Eurasian Collared dove. Suggestions for the other 2 are either common #doves or Mourning doves. The coloration matches that of Mourning doves, but from what info I found, #MourningDoves are about the same size as #EurasianCollaredDoves 🤷‍♂️

I've added the video of them eating from my hand together to the end of this #substack again. ℰ𝓃𝒿ℴ𝓎💙

🎵 ...six mourning doves, five go-old riiings! 🎵

There's an audience of mourning doves every morning as I fill the bird feeders🐥🐦🕊

It's like the Wild Kingdom around here.
The squirrel and dove are playing nice, for now 😎

I say "for now" because these two have a complicated history. What? You've never seen a mourning dove slap a squirrel with its wing? 😆

Seen from the gravel parking pad while waiting for taco at Mexican food cart: sundry bird social interactions. #HouseSparrow commotion among the picnic tables and low bushes, unconcerned about the hoomans, certainly emphatic and boisterous. Shrilling calls of a #CedarWaxwing flock in the high branches - ventriloquistic, high-pitched as an old modem, and no doubt also information-dense. Below them, four sleek #MourningDoves perched together in companionable silence.

The saga continues.

Breakfast rush 😄

Mourning Dove stopped by for breakfast (pic #2) then had a nice sit in the sun (pic #1)

Mourning Dove stops by each night around 5pm for dinner.
It sits on the old chair & waits for us to put out a dish of seed. Then the dove jumps to the arm and flies over to the filled dish to dine.

One question remains. Did we train the mourning dove or did the mourning dove train us? 🤔

"Not only do they not harm any other species, they are also actually beneficial to farmers and gardeners. The fact that they eat the seeds from unwanted weeds and waste grain makes them excellent at clearing the ground of seeds you don't want to sprout."
