Friday's Fact: Mourning doves have their love to keep them warm!

This is picture of a Mourning dove puffing up. I’m not sure of the bird’s gender so I’ll refer to the creature with the he pronoun. He is doing this activity while sitting on an orange metal railing which surrounds a garden. From the position he is in we can only see one eye and it almost closed, which allows us to notice his pale blue eyelids —  a characteristic of Mourning doves. We can also see his pink feet which are a characteristic of this bird type. Mourning doves have a story within volume one of my three volume book series. Info re these books is another post within this blog @ https://www.thelastleafgardener.com/2018/10/one-sheet-book-series-info.html
MOURNING DOVES ARE FEATURED IN WIOB

It's been very cold and I've been wearing layer upon layer, but Mourning doves don't have to bundle up when the temps are so low, all they do is puff up (as evidenced by the image atop this entry which was taken in my garden the other day). Another way they may be keeping warm is by their love for their partner.

Whenever I see them engaging in their amorous actions as seen in the next sequence of pictures....

This is a screen shot of a greeting card which I'm selling on Fine Art America. It features two very amorous Mourning doves. Info is @ https://fineartamerica.com/featured/cooing-mourning-doves-1-patricia-youngquist.html?product=greeting-card

... I can hear Dean Martin singing these lyrics:

 "...Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm
I've got my love to keep me warm..."

The aforementioned pictures are of some of my bird-themed note-cards and they are perfect to use for a Valentine's Day card, a holiday which is less than one month away.  

These cards are available via Fine Art America (AKA FAA). Moreover, FAA has the capability of rendering my images on to an array of surfaces including ones for wall art.  

Direct links to specific information are available by clicking on the caption of the either images. On another note, Mourning doves have a story within volume one of my three volume book series, Words In Our Beak (AKA WIOB) ...

This is a photo of my three volume book series, "Words In Our Beak." Information re the books is another one of my blog  posts @ https://www.thelastleafgardener.com/2018/10/one-sheet-book-series-info.html
MY BOOK SERIES


These books are nice to give to as a Valentine's Day gift to love birds who love birds.
 
However, they also make a perfect gift for someone who may be in quarantine or lockdown due to consequences of the coronavirus because the stories in them can bring the outdoors into the homes of those who cannot go out and about.

On another note, if it's as cold in your area as it is the day my visiting dove puffed up, you may want to have the books on hand so you can occupy your mind and don't have to go outside and weather the storm.
