Get acquainted with your shy neighbor—mourning doves!
In the spring of 2020, at the outset of the pandemic, a mourning dove visited my courtyard. I offered it some quinoa I had in my cupboard, but it wasn’t interested. Despite my lack of knowledge of what doves like to eat, she kept visiting. This was how an unexpected relationship began. Her daily presence made me love her and introduced me to a whole new natural world right in the backyard of my urban apartment. My awareness of the world expanded even though I was in lockdown in my home.
This comic journal invites you to discover the world of one of North America's most common birds. You'll learn fascinating facts you never knew about them and will no longer not notice them in your neighborhood.

A perfect gift for yourself, bird lovers, and nature enthusiasts.
This small book is a big delight for anyone who has enjoyed watching mourning doves in their yards or neighborhoods. Demi Naito watched them closely enough to see the bonds they form and break with each other, the care they give to the next generation, and the scuffles they have with other bird species. Despite their unassuming appearance and behavior, mourning doves have lives and relationships that are complex and fascinating.
This is absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much!
I love the meaning and significance behind the book! I discovered it after receiving visits from my own mourning dove. She and this book are amazing!!
Funny and interesting booklet on mourning doves. The perfect gift for my neighbor who has great disdain for doves!
Lovely story that struck a chord with a family member. Very special and I was so glad to find.
