Placid Mourning Dove 2

Description

Doves are symbols of peace, and I can certainly understand why after working with them.  These mourning doves are so incredibly placid and trusting; where the robins and finches and starlings fly about in a panic, the doves let you go right up to them, and are not even bothered by the camera being right before them.  One of them 'told' me when its food bowl was empty, and ate happily once I filled it with me right there, even drawing another over.  Another, younger one bumped against my foot and danced about hoping for food, having been hand fed for a time.

Here is video of the dancing dove: Dancing Mourning Dove
And another video of a different dove from the previous week: Sweet Little Mourning Dove
