New family member. Ever since my previous dove, Ava, passed away last October, it's felt painfully like there was a dove-shaped hole in my life. The Bird Shop didn't get enough doves during the usual season for all the customers that they had waiting for them, so I missed out then, and had resolved myself to remaining doveless until next Spring, but one of their breeders just came through with an out-of-season batch of white doves.
She's kind of stressed, right now, which is understandable, given that in this day, she's been transported from the breeder to the store, and then stapled into a paper bag for the ride from the store to a new home that is unfamiliar to her.
Some time after she has become more used to her new home, and more comfortable, I'll take her out and take better pictures of her.
She does need a name. My wife has already vetoed “Ava 2.0” or any reference to her predecessor, and anything that she thinks might be too cliché for a white dove.
