all alone

I hope not too Sanbaz but they are usually always together fingers crossed. They are not too good as nest builders and are known to loose eggs and young, Which means they tend to breed a lot so perhaps thats it?

lets hope hes sitting on a nest somewhere.....i think youve got the same bird feeder as me.....

never been apart Drc, thats why im worried,
lets hope your right holly, snap with the feeder :o)

They must nest soon, as a lot of baby birds hatch out in April dont they....

yes april and may i think holly, i will keep an eye out for the other.

A couple of years ago i found feathers of one of my doves in garden, and the other one just sat on the feeding post for two days and never moved then i did'nt see it for a few mths, but that was in the middle of summer, BB told me that it would just go away till the mating season is over, and then when it at molted its feathers it would come back, and true to BB's word it did come back with a new partner.

interesting carol but cant bare to think anything has happened, i dont think casper has got it as i watch when he is out unless it happened in neighbours garden, i will ask neighbour if she has seen anything

Know how you fell when mine was on the post all day i kept going right up to post and it was in a world of its own as it never flew of or anything.

i just gave him some food carol, he ate some, i could see a bird on an ariel a few houses away but couldnt make out if it was a dove or the wood pigeon thats been coming, to far so i hope it was its mate, maybe had anargument lol

:o))LOL

Oh dear, he looks so sad all alone. I can`t remember seeing them on their own.

me neither sandra, i will check again tomoz and look out for the other one, i couldnt make out the bird on ariel a few houses away just before dinner, but strange as they sit together all day normally

Nesting would be my guess San, I'll bet you'll soon have the two of them about again + babies!

oh i do hope so potty :o))

I think it could be nesting San .. Snowball's mate has been missing since a week last monday I read that it can take 14/18 days for the eggs to hatch it will be two weeks this monday , it will be interesting to see if Snowball disappears to go and help feed the babies if that is what is happening ......

What a Great Photo San :)

Sandra its a coincidence but I have only seen one of my doves for the past three weeks and they too were always around together, so do hope they are nesting too and nothing sinister has happened.;0(

thanx amy, jacque and carole, it seems more like they are nesting by what amy and carole say about their doves which makes me feel alot better thanx, glad you like pic jacque :o))

I agree with Jacque.

thanx Gb :o))

We have aboit 12 collared doves visit Sandra...and they nest all year round apart from the depths of winter ! Hope all is well...

thanx ray im sure it will work out and the female is nesting, a few members have the same thing going on at minute, he is eating well and even stays close when i go out, im sure he knows im worried Lol

Lol Sandra...they do know when folk care !

yes im sure they do ray :o))
