When Doves Cry

Egg update

2 more eggs, bringing us to 12.  £43.44 per egg.

This is our garden now!

We have a couple of collared doves living in the tree in our garden.  Apparently that is acceptable.  They're also allowed to perch on the fence.  They are no longer permitted to land anywhere in the garden.

They tried a couple of times last night and that made Big Boo very angry and she chased them off.

They seem a little more tolerant of the neighbour's cat walking through the garden now, probably because she doesn't eat any corn.

Food fight!

A couple of days ago, I tried them on half a galia melon.  They didn't seem keen.  I took it away and put it in the freezer.  When I brought it back out yesterday (still frozen as it was a hot day), they loved it.  All they left was an empty rind.  All the seeds and flesh are gone.

I tried throwing them a couple of chips.  They loved those.  Norma, despite being the little scraggly one immediately grabbed them and run off, chased by the other three.  Round and round in circles.  So much fun to watch.
