Hi, Just had to show you my new Bleeding Heart Dove: His name is Excalibur, and he is very shy. Sadly his mate died after hitting her head when she got a fright in the bird store; I have another female on order, but the breeder only has eggs at present. Excalibur keeps calling for a mate in the most amazing mournful manner. He paces constantly in his cage (a normal characteristic of their behaviour) so I had to fill a whole memory card with pix to catch even a few images of his wonderful bleeding heart. (By the time the shutter clicked, he always had his back turned to me). Am working on plans for a new planted aviary so he has a more natural habitat soon. Apparently they like live meal worms, so I'll have to work on his treats too! Isn't he the most beautiful bird created?
