Not sure if it's the same mourning Dove as last time but I'm only a little creeped out so it's fine, it's totally fine. This is fine.
I think they wanna be friends

This should go without saying, but please be nice to one another. No petty insults, no bigotry, no harassment, hate speech,nothing of that sort! Depending on the severity, you'll either only get your comment removed and a warning or your comment will be removed and you will be banned from /c/birding.

This is a community for posting content of birds, nothing else. Please keep the posts related to birding or birds in general.

When posting photos or videos that you did not take, please always credit the original photographer! Link to the original post on social media as well, if there is one.

Absolutely no AI-generated content is allowed! I know it has become quite difficult to tell whether or not something is AI-generated or not, but please make sure that whatever you post is not AI-generated. If it is, your post will be removed. If you continously post AI-generated content, you'll be banned from /c/birding (but it's obviously okay if you post AI-generated stuff once or twice without knowing you did so).

Please provide rough information location, if possible. This is a more loosely-enforced rule, especially because it is sometimes not possible to provide a location. But if you post a photo you took yourself, please provide a rough location and date of the sighting.

Geez, let her in already.
Just a government Surveillance Drone. Nothing to be alarmed about.
But how many fake birds are Real fake birds?
There are no fake birds, there are just not real birds.
Obviously all of them.
What's the matter Birder? Bothered by the birds looking at YOU?
The bird becomes the birder
Mourning doves are just like that, I love them
Totally innocent! Mourning doves are just the sweetest birds! I’ve always loved them. Used to have quite a few of their nests in my front bushes!
Oh he’s back :3
There's a pair of magpies that live around me that like to peek into everyone's windows occasionally.
I haven't been able to use my tall ladder in months, because there's been a mourning dove nest on it. I think they're finally gone.
Awws, that made me smile. Thanks. :)
Is this an old photo then or are they still there?
Old photo. The nest seems to be empty now.
Hahaha. Love it. Have you given it some food?
Yup, it's actually standing atop the bird feeder, which was getting close to empty, earning me that Look
It knows full well who fills it up, really liking this photo series of yours, hope there's more to come :)
I have some feral pigeons looking for me through my balcony door. I used to feed a few select ones some sunflower hearts, then i went on a longer vacation and thought afterwards i'll stop doing this. They were also all over the crumbles that the small birds left around the feeders on my balcony.
Now two and a half months later i come back home and i have this breeding pigeon couple on my balcony. I have not set up my feeders again, so i don't attract any other birds until their kids go flying. But the pigeons i fed before came back when they saw me, looking at me all hungry. I am not made for letting them just look at me and not give them anything, makes me feel bad and sad. They came by every day now, hope they stop coming soon.
I now try to only feed the breeding couple a bit, i know their time table for the shifts, so i try to put out some seeds at those times but i already accidently fed another pigeon which looks just like the mother. Such a cute pigeon. She was just sitting with me on the balcony, relaxing at sunset. Man. The pigeons get to me emotionally.
