Oh the cuteness! How exciting!

They are oh so adorable as babies! Surprisingly large when they were just 2 days old!

I can't say I've ever had diamond dove newborns. I'd love to though, as they're just so wonderful and lovely. Sweetest little birds ever!

Are diamond doves precocial? I didn't think they were - I know that mourning doves, other dove species and pigeons are altricial - but the 2-day-old photo shows them very large with a whole lot of fuzz so it's got me wondering!

They're looking great now! Can't believe they're so big and already flying!

Are these little ones staying with you? Or are you rehoming them?
