Alice took some video of the baby doves feeding. From http://www.passporttotexas.com/birds/aug.html,
Doves feed their young "pigeon's" milk, produced from the lining of the crop. Only doves, pigeons, penguins and flamingos produce crop milk.
The parents don't give them much time alone, but we did get to take this pic today. A week makes quite the difference!

How are the birds doing? Are they learning to fly?
Not yet, but they are getting big, and I saw one of them flapping its wings yesterday. I tried to take video, but it stopped when it noticed I was watching.
