Any bird watchers out there?

They are very annoying.

We would answer the phone, as soon as we did the person calling would ask "What is that sound?". All I was allowed to say about the intelligences of a birds was "They are cunning and clever". We took a short trip with the doves; my intentions were to release them about 60 miles from home. We made a day of it; our children were making claims the doves were keeping up. When we got home the doves were ready to come in. Later disaster struck, one of the doves was killed by children in the neighborhood with BB guns.

We went to Canton, Texas to purchase another dove, we tried to get it familiar with the surroundings for 2 months, we released it and it immediately it struck off for Canton. We purchased another, same thing after 4 months and then we gave up. We raised the doves with blue jays and a chocolate lab. The blue Jay was the most cunning and cleaver bird, the coo-coo required the most research, it had two toes forward and two toes backwards.
