We have our own Florence Nightingale in our midst! Mom saved the life of two baby doves today!
She's been watching a nest of babies in her carport and today went out to find the smaller of the two babies on her driveway. Almost mistaking it for dead, she put it in a box to get it out of the hot sun. Within about 1/2 hour the other baby tried flying and ended up in the stones. (Phoenix's version of "grass"!)
First solo flights don't always go real smoothly and today was no exception. She gathered up the other baby and put it in the box with the first one on her patio. Within a short time the mother dove was IN the box with her babies. She put out some bird seed and water for Mom and she stayed snuggled up with her babies all day on the patio. Before nightfall, the older of the two babies flew up to the rooftop of the house next door to be with the mother. The smallest baby took up refuge under a Hibiscus plant for the night!
Way to go Mom... You saved two little lives today!
