Well they havent done yet and we had to scare off pigeons today as they went for him Wonder why they did that......
26 Aug, 2009
they do seem to scare off the doves it seems milky, they do it here, i taught a blacbird to fly when i was a teenager at home and kept my eye on him, he did learn to fly and came back time and time again to my mums garden , happy ending :o))
26 Aug, 2009
Well lets hope so Sandra..
26 Aug, 2009
if you can pick him up milky, just keep letting him go into the air a bit at a time so he can flutter and try to fly, thats what i did, i also use to pop the blackbird on the washing line as he got better lol, you have to be mummy now

27 Aug, 2009
has he eaten today milky, if hes in tree he must get down some how, is he trying to fly
27 Aug, 2009
Yes Sanbaz, he has been flexing his wings and he can now get up and down on his own, but still no sign of any other Dove around, so I think Mum has abandoned him for some reason
