Fearless

I was standing in my front yard talking to a neighbor while these mourning doves were just inches from me (closer even than in this picture) and didn’t seem afraid at all. If they had been sparrows, they would have been gone in a flash.

Like Julie said, ours are very skittish too. Nice capture of your porch pals.

They are usually skittish. It’s nice they stuck around. A nice capture with the lovely daffodil. V

They know where to safely go for a treat. V

Yup one can get pretty close to them as they seem to know people usually mean food.

I love the sounds they make. Look at your daffodil already. V

They must know that there is nothing to be afraid of. The pop of color from the daffodil adds to the scene.

They must be used to people.

They do seem to be very tame, Helen. Like how you got a daffodil in the shot as well.V

She probably thinks that a little blue on her head will please the male who woos her.

Very sweet. My doves are the same except when my cats appear at the door!
