When my nephew was maybe 7 he has a pair bought from town, after sometime one was able to escape, so he cried. I talked to him and he later thought of letting the other be free also to go with the love of its life. The following days they always come over in the morning to feed as conditioned by my mother, until eventually they forget to come back. We just hear them from the top of the trees. Now that my nephew is 15, he already got over that incident and the bird.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05848957958059476177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814592055187462200.post-42926467667928023842013-06-18T16:39:03.567-07:002013-06-18T16:39:03.567-07:00A lovely feature of this dove.
