Howard and The Twins

There were 3 Rock Doves (Pigeons) or as Uncle Grump would call them “Flying Rats” brought into the Wildlife center this spring… one was a very sick adult and the other two were babies. I volunteered to release them here on The Hill and they are quite happy here. Howard, one of the babies, likes to follow me around the yard as I’m working and is fond of landing on my head! They all have personality plus, especially Howard… the twins are a bit more stand-off-ish but follow Howard around dutifully watching over him… the oldest one seems to have adopted a motherly role and will scold Howard if he does something she feels is dangerous or foolhardy… like landing on my head or getting too close to Tux.
That’s Howard on the left….

He will sit on my lap for seeds…

And clearly, Howard recognizes fine art when he sees it!

I’m going to enjoy their company.
