Family addition (dove)

We have a new family member, a dove. The proud parents managed to get the baby out of the nest, but 3 days later tried to kill it. So it came into the house until its wounds healed. That included a trip to St Francis. It went back into the aviary, only to be viciously attacked by the parents, especially the mom who had new eggs. So its now in the house.

Shirley made it a perch, similar to a parrot perch, and it now sits there most of the time. Even with the doors open, it stays inside, so I think we have a dove that wants to stay inside.

We now have a love triangle, the dove is in love with the dog, the dog with the guinea pig, etc. etc.
