The Love Birds

Posted by on February 14, 2012

Each morning, David and I wake up to the sound of cooing outside our bedroom window. A pair of Grenadian Doves likes to perch on the telephone wire back there and remind us that it is morning.

Our love birds only live in Grenada and conversationalists estimate that fewer than 100 of them exist in the world. This pair probably comes to our window from their only national refuge – a little land across from a landfill about an hour away.

While I love waking up to the sound of the doves every morning, David prefers the crickets and frogs that screech and croak us to sleep each night. I on the other hand would like to carpet bomb the crickets.

Happy Valentines Day!
