She's just the cutiest little bird. And I do mean LITTLE. From beak to tail feather end, she isn't as long as my palm and fingers! So dainty.
The Incas are the smallest of our doves that I know of. I have some who feed on my balcony but they have to compete with mourning doves and ONE large White Winged Dove bully who wing slaps and chases any and all comers away!

Just a side note: Cindy presented me and Mr. Squeaks with a lovely framed picture of his winning picture done in the lovely "Cindy Style." The picture now has a place of honor on my entertainment center! THANKS AGAIN, CINDY!

She's still tiny by her tail is really growing. After looking at some of the adults outside, I'm not sure that her body will get much bigger. Her tail will get longer though. Her 'under the wing' feathers are pretty much all in now.

You are very welcome Shi. It was my pleasure to do the picture.

London Pigeon,
I tried to get a picture of the little one sitting in the palm of my hand so you can get an idea of how small she really is.

Cindy, thank you.

The last picture is so precious.

She is such a beautiful little 'pidge'. Looks no bigger than a Diamond Dove.

Cindy, you are indeed fortunate to have such delightful little visitors
