One of the babies, is a lot bigger than the other, and has nice feathers, whereas the other is still scraggly looking. I don't know if this has anything to do with me watering my flowers, or not. As you can see...I have not been watering them since I realized there were actual babies in the nest. Watering eggs is one thing, but drowning baby birds is another. I just can't do that!! So...my flowers are wilting and dying in this heat.
I wonder if they will both survive. Mama sits faithfully day in and day out. I have never seen Daddy....
I will keep you updated as to the health of my newest twins.

How cute they are. Perhaps you have a boy and girl, and that might account for the difference in looks. I hope so. Also, it looks like you will be hitting the nursery for more plants after they leave the nest. PS: Have a wonderful 4th.
I have enjoyed following the story and seeing the pics of your little birds.
Oh, I love this! You know I've never seen "Papa doves" either when they come to feed, wonder why.
They are beautiful. Thank you, thank you for the pictures and the story.
