My doves aren’t a problem..They “roost” away from the patio area.and so far the grackles haven’t found my yard, thank goodness...I did see my first carolina wren in awhile..I’m waiting on “new” arrivals to appear.Still have my usual bunch of birds and the mockingbird now appears because of my red youpon berries.
My holly bushes didn’t have 10 berries on them this year.
I think the very late freeze we had messed them up. I always
love the color of them in the fall and winter.
I love my doves. They are sweet and gentle. I always have them....have no kinds of problems. I don’t know what a grackle is...sorry...what are they?
