Every year, as soon as the snow melts and the buds begin to form on the trees, this dove couple returns to our quiet garden with their offspring Donovan. Doves mate for life and we have seen this pair for several years now and I was greatly pleased to look out my kitchen window and see them sitting together among the blueberry bushes.
Doves are from the Columbidae family of birds which also includes pigeons. They primarily feed on fruits and seeds instead of the insects I’d like to be rid of but I don’t mind at all and will happily plant more to accommodate our stout little friends.
