Here is the images that I have taken of the baby Doves. Two little Doves hatched and grew into fully feathered Doves, and have now have left the nest flying free like a bird.
Enjoy.....

Left the nest on the 31-1-2008.....
I will really miss my feathered friends.....
Post note. You have no idea how hard it was for me to take photos of thise little birds. They nested in a hanging basket, hanging in my tropical garden fernery, under our back verandah.
The height of the basket would be at least 6 feet. I am only four feet tall.
I treid a ladder, but the ground was uneven and soft and I fell off that on day one.
Next time, I tried to use a strong square table that my budgie cage sat on, but needed a small stool as well, I had to put the stool, on top of the tabke, to get the hieght I needed to take photos.
I also useded a small chair to get up onto the table, and also a towel was on the table to stop the stool from moving.
It was hard but so worth it.....
