Here is our two doves again with two new babies. They might be two months old at least if that. One day I looked in the dish the mother sits on when I had fed them and she came over to eat, and I then noticed a baby as small as could be in there. There was still one more unhatched egg in there. The next day I did the same thing, I put seed in the dish she got up again and went to eat I looked in the dish again and yes now there were two babies in the bowl that she likes to lay her eggs in. Well, we watched them day by day, because this is the first batch that we actually got to see them that small the others were bigger till we finally noticed she had a baby in there. So we watched them grow and it seemed like they changed almost every day. It was amazing. Now they are at a size that you're not afraid to hold them. They are so cute. As you can see the one picture is of the two babies, one is dark and the other is lighter just like the mom and dad. In the other picture I got all four of them together. They make good pets and they make a good mom and dad. Each of these help in the feeding of the babies. When they are small they take turns sitting on the babies to keep them warm as well, so the other one gets a little exercise and eats and drinks. It's a lot of fun watching them.
