We saw this pretty Spring picture of a Mother Dove and her two chicks in a nest in our ligustrum recently.
Fig - A dove with her two chicks.
In a snug nest, nestled among the tree’s branches, Mother Dove tends to her two chicks, keeping them warm and secure. Feathers colors blend perfectly with the surrounding twigs, camouflaging the nest from predators.
The mother dove tenderly brings forth a creamy substance known as crop milk; a nourishing sustenance synthesized in her throat exclusively for her offspring.
The young chicks, only a few days old, remain mostly bare, their downy fuzz providing minimal coverage. They devour their food with enthusiasm, their tiny frames gaining strength after each meal.
Have you seen any birds with nests and chicks in your areas?

So sweet. We do have a nest near our driveway. And that bird will swarm down at you if you get too close.
ReplyDeleteWonderful post. Great to know how the momma bird takes care of her young.

ReplyDeleteThey look so cute! We have doves at our feeder but haven't seen any babies so far. We always seem to have lots of robins with their babies. Jennifer likes to look for thee egg shells that they take out of the nest.

Oh how lovely! My mom had a dove and eggs and babies in a nest a wreath she had hanging on her front porch. And my friend had a family of doves in her back porch!
