Who let the dove out

[Catherine]

Quote:(Virgil wrote about a dove flying in Aeneid Bk 5, by the way....)

You are right, Virgil is Latin. I wonder if some memory of the Aeneid made me think of Virgil as a dove name. It has been years since I studied Latin. So what I found on the chair is avis puppis.  (I looked it up) So far he seems to have only hung around the computer. 
You are right, Cibach, maybe he took orders and a whole lot of stuff will come. When I am on the computer the doves often sit in their higher perch where they can see me. They are watching me now. Every time I turn they both have their eyes one me.

My doves have a big cage. It once belonged to a cockatiel. Still it would be sweet if they could come out. I can close off the room they are in and that would be safer. I don't think there are any dangers. I will look the room over and try opening the door on a day when I can watch them. He let me pick him up so maybe they are getting tamer and could be handled.

My previous birds were quail and they never get tame. They don't really fly either although Stuart used to get out and roam around. He was always back in his enclosure, but birds always leave a bit of avis puppis to let you know they were there.
