The eagle owl has been completely accepted by the doos now. I am not now convinced that it is going to scare away some marauding sparrowhawk!
Doo Number 14 has made an appearance, Young Stillard, sibling of Wellard ,was spotted yesterday when mum briefly left the nest.
The doves so far are:
Bully and Lily ( Originals from last May)
Ben and Jerry and Ivy ( Christmas Doos ) Thank you Janice and Jeff for the Doo Voucher.
Ist Babies: Fugly and Didgeree ( named By Nicci)
2nd Baby: Pipsqueak (sibling died in egg)
3rd Round: Moby As in The Great White Doooooooooo ( Murray) and Cocka...Doodle Doo (Stu)
4th Batch: Pixie and Dixie ( Named by Carmen after her t shirt, we think!)
5th lot: Wellard and Stillard ( Sam )
RIP: Hindoo, Huffy and Holly
The nesting frenzy appears to have stopped now so maybe a flock of 14 is a good size for our housing arrangements. They hate the new pink pigeon pellets by the way and I have discovered to my cost that the discarded pellets turn to pink sticky porridge when rained on, even the wood pigeons won't eat them.
