Your mention of previous generations mad...Hi Faith,<br />Your mention of previous generations made me realize how interesting and helpful it would be to have a family tree made of the doves who have nested and raised families in your garden. :-)<br />xo<br />Janehopeinparishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11560778547960580201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119986262111403412.post-7491117328478189942013-04-27T02:05:38.078-07:002013-04-27T02:05:38.078-07:00After you tantalised me with tales of Rosie return...After you tantalised me with tales of Rosie returning I am still awaiting Fennie Dove's return, though your story of the hawk reminds me that life isn't so easy for those of an avian persuasion.<br /><br />Birds in a house are a problem. I remember when a friend was away and I was keyholder to their house, the police arrived following the house alarm sounding. A jackdaw had fallen through the chimney and was cruising about the Georgian living room banging against the windows. I remember the young policeman caught it in his hands and released it outside the house. It flew up into the trees unharmed. All part of a day's work, he said.Fenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377814681496294457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119986262111403412.post-42069917931155066932013-04-26T17:58:13.589-07:002013-04-26T17:58:13.589-07:00Goodness Faith, that was a close shave.!

Hope Sparrow Hawk stays away from your Doves.<br /><br />I have only seen a Sparrow Hawk up close once, earlier in the year when one swooped down and picked a Sparrow up outside my window in the gardens. I rushed out and clapped my hands to shoo the Hawk away, Hawk then dropped the little Sparrow into the bushes and flew away. I probably did the wrong thing as the Sparrow Hawk was wanting his meal, but I was worried for the Sparrow.<br /><br />Sorry to hear about Pharos, I know you will have done all that you could for her with your loving care Faith. RIP PHAROS.<br /><br />Hope the babies are doing alright and Cloud is too since you kindly untangled the netting from her feet.<br /><br />CAMILLAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741990891794651299noreply@blogger.com
