I spoke to him and suddenly the sparrowhawk went whooshing out of the hollybush behind him, near frit the life out of both of us. I guess it had been sitting in there hiding hoping to get a smaller bird, so I guess it's realised Mr Dove is too big, hopefully. Anyhow the hawk went one way and the dove went the other way with some collared doves, seems to be sticking with them. Glad you can post again Pauline. :)Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10651807465859935301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128703959582611933.post-59736948544645440482007-04-25T16:39:00.000+01:002007-04-25T16:39:00.000+01:00The white dove belongs to someone Jan, and may hav...The white dove belongs to someone Jan, and may have lost its way, they sometimes hire them to weddings, and the bride lets them go, and they fly home, but this one may be lost, it will be used to being fed, and won t live long if its not fed.<BR/>Sad about your sick birds.Pauline.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128703959582611933.post-67237181932727066902007-04-25T09:36:00.000+01:002007-04-25T09:36:00.000+01:00Wonderful pictures Jan.

Trouble is when it rains, which is quite often, it gets diluted so much, and also there's a stream within a 100 yards and birds probably drink out of that more. They seem to choose to drink out of puddles more than the supplied drinkers too. No sign of the dove this morning. Hope he's gone home.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10651807465859935301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128703959582611933.post-71103235936506003392007-04-25T03:04:00.000+01:002007-04-25T03:04:00.000+01:00Thats a lovely dove.

Did you every try adding the chlorhexidine to the birdbath/drinking water? That works well with pigeons/doves in a canker outbreak, maybe may help the finches?Janinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09796154151854255635noreply@blogger.com
