Alexandra's Doves

One day a dove flew into Alexandra's Gymnastic class .

and would not leave . it could not stay at the school,

so it ended up at home with Alexandra,who named her Georgia.

It was soon realized that there had to be a search for a mate
Alexandra approached the pet shops , who in turn posted a message in their store,

as well as searching far and wide .

After a 3 yr search,the pet shop called Alexandra

to say they have a mate for her dove,

so she went with her mum to pick up the male to take home to meet Georgia.

The family named him Schroeder,

unfortunately Georgia didn't accept the newcomer,

so they had to put him in the other cage!

It seemed that Alexandra would have to go back to the store

to return the dove and get a male.

Even though Schroeder was put in the carrier to take back ,

Alexandra knew she could not do it,

none of the family had the heart to get rid of Schroeder

so now they have a couple living next to the spinster, Georgia .

Georgia used to coo all the time but there is lots of silence now ,

the couple are just friends ,

the female refuses to use the nest and just drops her eggs.

Recently the male and Georgia have been seen eyeing each other

from their cages..

Alexandra thinks it might just be possible to introduce him
to poor Georgia now who is forever sitting on unfertilized eggs

with tender loving care.

Georgia reminds Alexandra of Jemima , from Beatrix Potter

who was a wondering duck that was too impatient to sit on her eggs,
