So the other day I turned on the sprinkler to water the lawn and create a cool breeze for our chickens so they wouldn't get to hot in the afternoon. I went out to check on the water and a white winged dove was sitting at the edge of the watering area getting wet. Even though I approached in its sight line and even touched it trying to get it to leave so that it would be out of the way when I moved the sprinkler it didn't leave. It took it a good five minutes of me lightly tapping it to make it go away.
Has anyone seen a dove do this? I live in a small town (<3000) people. I've just never seen a dove so docile enough to let someone touch it. Could it be that because we have chickens it didn't feel threatened?
