Our New Doves

Well, I guess it was Thursday . . . I was letting the dogs out in the morning, and I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. One of our little bird eggs had a cracked open. At first, it scared me. I thought that maybe the baby was dead, but then I saw him moving! Breathing! God has made some amazing creatures! And still amazing, we got to see this one from the 1st stages!

Gus jokingly called him an egg head - as you can see in the picture, he wasn't all the way out yet. But then he finished emerging and layed by his unhatched sister to rest and wait for her arrival.
Winston - we decided. Our first little dove is Winston!

And this morning, two days later, his sister joined us. She was already all the way out of her egg by the time we saw her - snuggled up close to her brother! It was such a cool morning to get to see them that way.
