Weekend at Liu Xueqing's home!
At this moment, Liu Xueqing and Yingying had moved a chair outside the balcony, sitting and observing the situation inside through the glass door.
They hadn't gone to the zoo this weekend, and were staying at home watching the collared doves.
The collared dove fledglings were already half a month old.
During this time, their parents had been flying in and out daily, looking for food to feed them.
When they were first born, their eyes hadn't even opened. Now, they could stand up, hop out of the flowerpot, stretch their wings, preen their feathers, and jump around. They were even active on the balcony's trellis, and their growth rate surprised Liu Xueqing.
Lately, there seemed to be something different!
After feeding, the father dove didn't perch on the balcony railing as usual.
Instead, he flapped his wings and flew from Liu Xueqing's balcony to an air conditioning unit diagonally across, a distance of about 4 or 5 meters.
