I didn't know doves did that.

Like it's so difficult to be sitting all day.

Missed it by thaat much...

Both of the smaller birds are my third generation babies of this flock.

When they become full grown adults they will be a little smaller than parakeets.

I had one a few years ago. Two Robin eggs and two Cowbird eggs in the same nest. The robins incubated the eggs and then fed the chicks.

The doves look well-fed.

Mom and Dad did a wonderful job this time.
I'm worried that all 5 eggs will hatch.
Somebody is gonna get knocked outta the nest and get hurt.

Robins are sweet. Those Cowbirds sound crafty. Think how many more eggs they can lay if they aren't busy raising a family.

... but then thought "WWDD"?

(What would Darwin do?)

I usually let nature do its thing ... as long as doing its thing isn't going to hurt anything I care about.

The eggs are no bigger than my thumbnail.

Probably a delicacy. I'm afraid to google a recipe, I'd probably find one.
