Have at least ten visit the bird feeders here, Chippees kick feed off the tray and the Doves eat it up.

Doves must love salt; they are always congregating close around the salt block and even those bare spots where the salt block was two or three years before.

Just curious, did you ever get your 'frozen pellets' issue resolved for your elderly friend?

Looks love me pigeons to me, is there a biological difference between dove and pigeon?

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

I think so; instead of giving him a full ration, I have broken the two daily feedings into six feedings, which seems like I no more than get my rubber boots off and sit down until it is time to go back out again; but, he is able to clean them up before they freeze solid.

I also backed off on the water just a bit and drain off any excess water before I head out.

Hawk or Owl took one here. Left the plucked feathers and some less desirable parts as tail and wings, remainder GONE. No tracks just two snow impressions where the deed was done.
