Two diamond dove babies hatched!
Yesterday two babies hatched! They are so tiny you can see them here with their mother. They are the little fluff balls in the bottom right corner of the nest. I hope they will grow to be strong and healthy. The parents are an experienced mom and a "newbie" dad.

Re: Two diamond dove babies hatched!
Congrats on the babies! Is that a third egg? I love Diamond Doves, and mine were always wonderful parents. Wait till the babies start peeking out of the nest at you--so cute!

Re: Two diamond dove babies hatched!
Yes Sally I think it is a third egg! I came home from school and there is the remains of an egg shell on the cage floor hopefully the parents will move around a bit tonight so I can see what's going on!

Re: Two diamond dove babies hatched!
When I had Diamonds, they only had two babies each clutch, but when I enlarged your photo, it looked like a whole egg still in the nest. I would always find nice neat shell halves on the bottom of the cage, so I knew their eggs had hatched.

Congratulations! The babies grow fast! Enjoy!
The babies grow fast! Enjoy! God is my redeemer and it is through Him I have found eternal happiness. I am grateful, I am blessed, and I am truly loved. I wish all this and more for all members of our finch forum family. May you all be blessed and highly favored.

Congrats! Diamond dove babies are very strange looking, but very cute in a weird way.
