Doves On My Balcony Part 2

2 more days to go!
Successful!!
A few days after I wrote the original column, two eggs hatched. The chicks were so quiet and the loving and studious parents were there 24 hours a day to nurture the chicks.
I was so amazed how fast they grew. They are almost like inflatable ducks!! The size is doubled each day.
On exactly 14th day, they all few out to the wide blue skies. I was so happy for them, but so sad because I will never see these pretty faces again. All I have now is the empty nest...
This picture was taken 2 days before they flew!
Come back soon!!
Doves On My Balcony Part 3
A week after I wrote "Doves On My Balcony Part 2" success story, there were a pair of doves checking this empty nest. Not sure if they are the same couple or their friends..lol.
Today, a dove start sitting on the nest and looks like she is ready to start a family. Can't tell if she had already laid the eggs, but let's cross our fingers for a happy ending.
I can't wait to see more babies... will keep you posted.
