VOILÀ! NEWLY HATCHED MOURNING DOVES!
Mourning doves are known for procreating as many as six broods somewhere, typically, between April to July, and the pair of adult doves featured in the video "A MOURNING DOVE NESTING IN A PLANT POT OF 'CROWN OF THORNS'" (although only one is actually seen, the male and the female have been rotating in the task of incubating the two eggs the female had laid in the plant pot amidst the thorny limbs of the Creme Supreme plant that resemble slender tentacles adorned with green leaves and small white flowers) have successfully incubated their two offspring observed in this current video, them having taken turns laying on the two eggs for over the period of approximately two weeks until they hatched.
After having feasted on crop milk (i.e. regurgitated seeds and such previously ingested by the parents) fed to them in the beaks of their parents, it is estimated that the hatchlings will be able to fly out of their nest in about as many weeks, and they will be off to make bird history for themselves, although with still about two weeks of continuing help from their parents, as the Almighty shall see fit to give each of the family members opportunity to do. Maybe they will end up inspiring poems like the adult doves that inspired Solomon and his courted Shulammite young woman (rf. Song of Solomon 6:13) to express some things they did express to each other. "Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes" (Song of Solomon 1:15). "Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead" (Song of Solomon 4:1). "His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set" (Song of Solomon 5:12).
But let us let the kids be kids while they are kids -- or, rather, the squabs be squabs while they are squabs.
