I can always use a little more mellow.

They are mellow, but I must admit that their cooing drives me insane at times š

I’m sorry the cooing makes you crazy. I used to get over-the-top irritated listening to Whip-poor-wills when I was growing up. It felt as if it would never end.

I’m very fond of doves, but they freak my husband out. He never seems to notice them until they whir up from the ground and startle him. Sneaky doves š

I totally get where your husband is coming from. I’ve been startled by them taking off, too. It’s funny because once they’re sitting, they’re completely chill.

I love mourning doves. They’re lovely birds.
P.S. I hate pigeons.

I love pigeons, too. They’re incredibly strong and are believed to navigate via the earth’s magnetic field when traveling far from home. And they’re related to your lovely mourning doves! š
