Eurasian Collared Dove – Bird Talk

18 Comments

Just wait! I’m bringing you a snack,

It’s really tasty corn,

If it’s not good I’ll take it back,

As sure as you were born.

 

Oh wait! Don’t run away so quick,

You’d think I want a date,

I like you, but it’s not a trick,

If you would only wait.

 

Well, look at me, I’m such a man,

You’ll see what I can do,

I’ve learned to dive because I can,

And all this, just for you.

Can you believe this guy up there?

He must be simply nuts,

But on the other hand I swear, 

He’s got a lot of guts.

    I love all the birds in your garden, Anneli! We have a pair of mourning dove came and mated. I hope they have their babies by now. I saw another mourning dove today and heard the distant oo OO oo oo oo sound. A few weeks ago, A couple of Steller’s Jay picked twigs and wet mud, must be building their nest. ❤
