Merle,
I leave the birds in the bush because I am so shy and retiring, like you, who
won't even email a artist-painter-zen-teacher. ;-)
And spy on them (the birds...) from a distance with good spyglasses. ;-)
But I WILL try to train these new Doves to eat even from my hand, if I can.
It's said they are an introduced species, and come from a line which has for
hundreds of years lived in Eurasia in close proximity to humans, raised in
cages in a way that really makes them thrive. It's said that the birds are
"tame", even as escapees. Maybe I'll see!!
Again, I'll leave the cat inside for the birds' safety.
--Joe
PS Merle, I have a big stamp collection, but I haven't worked on it since I
was 13. Practical Astronomy took over my life then. The website was just an
excuse to learn basic HTML, or _vice versa_, a long time ago. I'm completely
out of date with the moving technology, by choice, now.
