Coo coo.....the call of the doves (video)

Have you ever had a bird persistently making a racket non stop until you give them some attention. Well....we have been adopted by a pair of ringneck doves who thinks they are the boss of me.

When they fly in at any time of day, they expect to be fed pronto ! If I ignore them, they start the non stop 'coo coo' until I go outside and open up their food bowl. Or they hang around staring at us through the kitchen window or if we are sitting at the dining table, they strut outside the door and stare in. Their food bowl is kept covered as I get an invasion of sparrows who kicks or should I say 'beaked' everything out of the bowl making a big mess. Dirty buggers !

Sometimes I do get a thank you from the doves, cackling away when they hop on to the bowl. Very polite indeed!

Caught on video, have a look and a listen....the coo cooing might drive you up the wall !
