Space!

No, not the Final Frontier kind, although that's infinitely interesting too.

"Space!" is what the mourning dove chicks are thinking about now, because they just don't have any!

***

I was surprised when even one dove fit into this little hay twist of a nest, but three?

Well, it's just not possible.
I cannae change the laws of physics!

Mom gets a more comfy seat now though.

If you stick too far over the edge of the nest you get poked by a thorn.

These chicks must fledge in the next couple of days, as their home just won't support them anymore!
