Pet: LovieDovie
Owner: Linda Roberts Breed: dove
Age: Age is uncertain, but Roberts rescued the deaf dove from Granville Island in 2013. Roberts is a volunteer with a group that rehabilitates birds.
Characteristics: “She is the most affectionate, entertaining bird imaginable!” writes Roberts. These are the things she loves to do, according to Roberts: “Has a nap every day with my husband. At bedtime, she gets tucked in by me with the song, ‘You Are My Sunshine.’ Then, she expects me to tuck her little blue baby blanket around her and talk to her for about 10 minutes before she will settle in. Every springtime beginning in May, she begins laying two eggs and I collect grass from outside for her and together we happily build a nest in the second bedroom. She wears ‘poodie pants,’ which act like a diaper and can be changed twice a day.”
