Hi Chris, I wanted to send you the latest photos of Micro today. She is so confident and her flying skills have become better than your average bird. She can manouever herself in and out of the kitchen and her favourite perch is above the hanging pots and also in the evening on the DVD player in the bedroom. She also has to inspect the supper plates every evening and taste everything – so inquisitive! My favourite though is when I’m on the laptop and she wanders over the keyboard and starts pecking at my cursor on the screen. Gets me every time!! I can’t believe that she is already in her 6th week. She is really looking like a dove now. Soon I won’t be able to tell her apart from the other doves.
Ok – have a great day tomorrow and don’t work too hard. Take some time off and sit in your beautiful garden.

Hehe, this is now the most popular post on our blog! Micro has a following all of her own! Too cute 🙂
Micro is becoming macro. Does it hop onto your shoulder?
We had a sparrow for a week. It loves to hop on the shoulder, finger and chest.
Oh yes, the favourite landing strip is the top of my head. But she stays on my shoulder while I work in the office or when I’m cooking. She is a very curious little dove! Wants to try everything I’m doing, and loves the TV remote. She sees out constant interest in this and also wants to push the buttons. She is so cute!!

Thanks my friend. It looks like Micro is getting some much loved attention. She loves to be part of what ever is happening. Her new trick is this major fly-by when she takes off or lands! She has to fly right past you so you can woop and hollar at how wonderful she is …! What a cutey!
Where is the beginning bit of her story?
Hi Diana – All the “dove” posts are on this link: http://www.thegardeningblog.co.za/tag/baby-dove/ (from the bottom up 🙂
What a lucky bird Micro is. I love hearing about her.
Precious! Was she abandoned? Injured when she came to you?
Hi Carol – Barbie blogged about her when she first found her – all the “Dove” posts are here: http://www.thegardeningblog.co.za/tag/baby-dove/ (from the bottom up). xxx
That is so adorable, but don’t you have trouble with bird fertilizer in some of the wrong places, like the pots?
Very cute! So she is not leaving you – coming back all the time?
Oh yes – she stays out longer every day though, but I see her do a ‘fly by’ at the kitchen window and I know she wants to come in! She gets hugged and kissed and cuddled, so I guess she will be around for a while.
