The Baby Factory!!!

Ok - so the last time I blogged was about wonderful little Tori and Winston. Well, Winston is getting bigger everyday. Tori is still small. And Momma . . . what to say about Momma . . . I see a lot of action going in and out of that nest! I thought she flew away the other day when I went outside, but it was actually a "friend" sneaking away before they got caught. Momma's one busy lady!!! One day we think we're going to be able to re-pot our pretty plant (in the pretty pot we already purchased for it), and the next thing I know, THERE'S ANOTHER EGG IN THE NEST!!!

I get over it quickly, it's just one more egg - right?! NO!!! I go out to water the plant today, and Momma doesn't move. She sits right there and lets me poor the water at the base of the plant without moving an inch. All of a sudden, she changes her mind, flaps her wings rather loudly, and proceeds to fly away. Needless to say, she scared me half to death, I flung water everywhere, and had to catch my breath. I'm sure it would have been hilarious to an on-looker, but it really made me jump. As my heart slowed to a normal pace, I realized, THERE'S ANOTHER EGG!!!

Momma has turned into a baby factory! We might not get to re-pot our plant anytime this year at the rate she's going! And to top it all off, on my walk yesterday, I saw 2 doves that didn't make it. Both looked like victims of drive-bys. It made me think of our little doves in the nest. I hope they hatch, grow, and stick around the yard where it's safe from drive-bys . . . just as long as they reproduce in someone else's plant next year!!!
