What’s Up?…
Summer Heat
Sometimes tempers flare up within the members of the flock…I’m not talking about any religious matters by the way, I’m referring to the Mourning Dove’s flock. At times the dove represent the symbol of Peace but believe it or not they are not quite pacific. When it comes to feeding, they can really stuff themselves without any regard for any other birds, including their own kind.
These birds are aggressive and also sexually impulsive…no wonder they are so many around! I think the humid heat is getting to them also, it may be harder for them to adapt to a new schedule to feed themselves, since they are always hungry! I have some photos for you about their table manners…

Amusing portrait of the dove, HJ — much enjoyed.
Thank you Jet! 🙂
They always make me laugh. Their walk alone is good for a chuckle. And yes, the are definitely piggies. 😊
Thank you for sharing Dorinda! 🙂
I see what you mean about their table manners, very pushy!
Yes!…Thank you Susan! 🙂
Beautiful colours in those shots HJ
Thanks Tom. If the day is gray the colors intensify without shadows. 🙂
Great shots of the fighting doves, HJ!
Thank you very much Clare. 🙂
My pleasure! 🙂
Great photos! So unusual to see these guys doing something other than cooing… I always see them around, but never in action!
Oh no…They are more active than just eating. Thank you for sharing Alina! 🙂
