We’ve been feeding the neighborhood doves for a couple years now. So happy it’s fledgling season again so I can watch these derpy guys grow! #addBirder
A mourning dove fledgling looks back at me through my window. His tiny feathers are still growing in On the left-a mourning dove fledgling perched on my window box looking derpy while an adult mourning dove sits in the crack between the window and window box, looking skeptically at the baby On the left- a mourning dove fledgling attempts to scare off an adult mourning dove in an attempt to get all the seed First fledgling of the season that I’ve seen master the window box feeder my husband got me 2 Christmases ago. Not a very clear picture but were very proud

We recently sold a wonderful gold Victorian mother of pearl parasol handle. We learned from the buyer's review that they're going to reuse it and give it a new life as an umbrella handle.

We do this to save special items from the landfill and the melt pile to create joy in the future.

Gustavo is the store's mascot. He's 11 years old so he's almost an antique himself.

Behind him is an heirloom 1940s secretary desk. Refinished a half dozen times since, my wife's grandfather purchased it new for 25 dollars in 1945 at a furniture store in Marquette, Wisconsin. #cats #antique

We’re all trying to stay warm here in these negative temps! 🪶#birds #mourningdoves
A mourning dove side eyes me while staying warm in my window feeder that I lined with an old pillow case and some hay bedding Two mourning doves fluff up their bodies to stay warm while watching someone shovel their parkway 5 mourning doves eating their weight in nutritious seed in order to survive these low temps One mourning dove in the window box, one dove trying to get in. They’re not great at sharing lol

Checking out the new window feeder! 🪶#birds #mourningdoves
A mourning dove tentatively looks inside my new window box feeder that extends into my house! A mourning dove cautiously eating some seeds at the edge of the new feeder! Happy eating seeds!

You up? Let me in! 🪶 #birds #mourningdoves
A very round morning dove (right) looks directly into my bird camera, almost pressed up against my window. Another round birb (left) shelters in my flower box to stay warm. A mourning dove (right) looks right into the bird cam, his face shows the reflection of the camera through the glass window. His friend (middle) remains in a ball to keep himself warm. A derpy little sparrow (left) hangs out on the edge of the flower box hoping to sneak some seed.

One of my doves met an unfamiliar friend! She’s a red bellied wood pecker!🪶#birds
A female red bellied wood pecker looks sheepishly at my bird camera while one of my mourning dove friends looks at her with confusion My mourning dove friend looks at woodpecker friend and realizes she’s not a dove. The woodpecker almost seems to be smiling Dove and woodpecker look at each other quizzically

POV you walk into a room where everyone’s just been talking about you 🪶
3 mourning doves looking at me from the flower box I feed them from. Their expressions look slightly judgmental 3 mourning doves look at me through the window from the flower box I use to feed them. The dove farthest to the left has pressed her tail against my window. Their expressions say they’ve been caught doing something they shouldn’t be doing

So excited to learn about the Bird Feed, especially since the group of mourning doves I feed have just welcomed a new adolescent dove to the group! Meet Gideon and Baby G!🪶
Gideon, an adult male mourning dove, looks warily at Baby G, an adolescent who has just left the nest and is learning how to eat on her own! Gideon, an adult male mourning dove, trying to intimidate Baby G, a teenage mourning dove, away from the food! Gideon, a handsome male mourning dove, looking at me though the window. He comes to visit me every day over the past 7 months Baby G looking lovingly at me

Idk why the conservatives are so mad at the Barbie movie. She’s literally a scientist and a girl boss so it’s not totally unbelievable that she would invent the atomic bomb.

I don’t have kids yet but I do have a cantankerous ancient dog with every medical problem known to man and I’m friends with a wild mourning dove who visits me everyday, so I’m pretty sure I’m winning at life.
