There's a new resident in our household: The Mother. A dove has inhabited the nest on top of our gutter drainpipe. The nest has been there for years, according to the landlord, but we've never seen anyone in it until The Mother came and sat upon it earlier this month. So far she's just been sitting and biding her time. She doesn't care when we come out on the balcony to pick basil or ride the stationary bicycle or throw away diapers. She's set up residence and we are awaiting her bundles of joy. Anyone know how long a bird sits on eggs so we can have the car gassed up and ready for delivery at any time?
