My Prize Winning Dove!

“

:) The Pied male dove "Cocoa" is my prize winning bird. I am trying to get him to breed with my blond female dove with him there in the picture. She has had 6 previous successful clutches so she knows what she is doing. :)”

“Orange BBQ Dove
Submitted by Jesse.


~ 20 dove breast halves (10 whole breasts)
~ 1/2 cup chopped onion
~ 1 tbsp chopped garlic
~ 1/2 stick butter
~ 1/4 cup favorite bbq sauce
~ 1/3 cup beer


Make a packet out of foil large enough to hold all of the ingredients.

Add the ingredients to the packet and seal.

Gently shake packet to distribute and mix ingredients.

Cook over medium heat 20 - 30 minutes or until done turning several times.

Serve and enjoy.”

“Doves mate for life don't they?”

“"She has had 6 previous successful clutches so she knows what she is doing. :)”

I'll take 'Why the caged bird sings' for $500 Alex.”

“Hey Bit there's no orange in that recipe other than the color the bbq sauce imparts.”

“Hey, I didn't make it up...maybe he's a Tennessee fan and everything is "orange" to him...”

“Is there any room for you & Mike to sleep in that house, Spirit?”

“Sass, in my expirience with these birds, they will mate with anything! LOL”

“Sure, there's room in that big boat that Mike is building in the back yard...”

“Lyra....we did have room, UNTIL we won that huge aquarium in a drawing....

Its in our bedroom for lack of anywhere else to put it. We dont really want it and havent used it yet. But I may use it when I start breeding my dragons :)

“LOL!”

“Oh course....I wonder where I can put a kid if I have one? PS...The Birds have their own room, the gear has its own room, and the tarantulas, snakes, lizzards, etc have their own room.

“Let me tell you about my breeding experience with a blonde female dove.

errrr, ok, perhaps I should save it for campfire conversation?”

“

Running Bear

On the banks of the river stood Runnin' Bear,
young Indian brave
On the other side of the river
stood his lovely Indian maid
Little White Dove was-a her name,
such a lovely sight to see
But their tribes fought with each other
so their love could never be.

Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove
with a love big as the sky
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove
with a love that couldn't die.”

“He couldn't swim the raging river
'cause the river was too wide
He couldn't reach Little White Dove,
waiting on the other side
In the moonlight he could see her
blowing kisses 'cross the waves
Her little heart was beating faster,
waiting there for her brave.


Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove
with a love big as the sky
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove
with a love that couldn't die.

Runnin' Bear dove in the water,
Little White Dove did the same
And they swam out to each other
through the swirling stream they came
As their hands touched and their lips met,
the ragin' river pulled them down
Now they'll always be together
in that happy hunting ground.

Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove
with a love big as the sky
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove
with a love that couldn't die.”

“I hate to by the logical one in this crowd...but um...white tube socks...?

As for the dove....PULL”

“Don't take this wrong SC, but do you have like a small Zoo?”

“I am offended! I have a big zoo! :D”

“That's nice, SC!!

You're a good sport and humanimaltarian.”

“Dont let the calm look on those doves fool you, they are really a nearly extinct, extreamly rare pair of man eating, carniverous birds!”

“Hey, there you are!!

(oh, i'm scared alright!)”

“so just how many animals do you have?”

“I have no idea....


41...oops 40 tarantulas (hubby lost one last night somewhere in the house)

Birds? Um, I'll have to do a count in the aviary. I know I have at least 20.

6 lizzards and snakes

1 scorpion

1 giant millipead

some rats

a couple of guinea pigs

a couple of dogs

lots of fish

a couple of turtles.”

“And a partridge in a pear tree”

“This is not counting the animals at the shop :P”

“Little Shop Of Horrors???”

“we're constructing a turtle habitat out of my 30 gallon aquarium. Shoule be ready to add the inhabitant this weekend. Sarah's getting a red eared slider.”

“surfergirl hjas an ornate box turtle that used to be her brothers! he gave it to her because "turtle" is her girl scout name.”

“Turtles got ears??”

“all you need to get these two going is a little Barry White playing in the back ground and some aroma therapy candles...send her some flowers with a little chocolate covered bird seed...be sure to mark the card "Love Cocoa"”
