Best of both worlds: free "as a bird" but with a family who loves her. And she even has her own german shepherd!
Well said!
Actually that Pup is a Belgian Malinois and not a German Shepard. Similar but definitely not the same kind of animals.
Belgian Malinois.
@@user-td1zo3tv9p Dog owners: "is that a German shepherd?" "Nooo it's a Belgian milanois" crying wojak
Cat owners: "what breed is your cat?" "Sofa"
@@guaxinimdomato5825 It really doesn't matter. They ALL expect a high level of service from their staff - us. Loved your "sofa" comment. 😅😅😅
Trigger may not have exactly imprinted on you. But she certainly trusted you and was grateful for your care. Now she has the best of both worlds - a wild outdoor life AND a human family in a house!
Yes, the beauty of animals, birds have
Beautiful relationship with the love they sense and respond to.
Dodo, what you do
Is amazing and full
Of love. Must share this story. When my
Younger sister and I
Went to live with
Our aunt and uncle.
During that time, they had a lovely
Baby girl, we bonded. She wouldn't let anyone
Put her to bed, but me, calling me
Dodo. I would lay
By her crib, holding
Her tiny hand. That was "MarthaAnn".
True, and beautiful
Memory. Thank you, precious
MarthaAnn, little
Cousin.lots of love.
Ring-necked doves are a very intelligent and also very social breed of bird. I remember we had a couple that always nested in an oak tree my mother herself planted, when I was a youngster. Every year, they'd come back and have their babies.
I want everyone to see peace (￣ ▽ ￣) 👍✨💕
May the ducks heal you (￣ ▽ ￣) ✨👍🦆
Please spread it to everyone (￣ ▽ ￣) ✨✌️
@@elainelosee7974 That is so sweet! ❤️
If the dove hasn’t imprinted of them, I doubt this video would exist
My Papa raised doves for nearly 30 years, when he died, my Mimi released them all... about 40. All but two came back to his aviary which she left open from then on. They all lived there and she kept feeding and watering them until the last one died... about 15 years later. They continued to raise families in a disintegrating aviary...
Ohhhh- that’s beautiful 💖. What a tribute to your father💖
NOT good..it she fed them she should have cleaned Their house
@@bobbybrooks4826 We don't know that she didn't. And they weren't confined, so if the house didn't suit them, they would've nested elsewhere. We don't know what the setup was, so no need to yell.
@@camez2345 we know that she didnt as it was SAID to become dilapidated...NO , they wont go elsewhere ,,,, NOT if that's where They are trained to be and WHERE They are Being fed.....I FEED 50 BIRDS 2X A DAY!!!........,,,, When people who FEED stop feeding They are known to stay for WEEKS looking for The person..... Trust me , i UNDERSTAND Birds
@@bobbybrooks4826 I understand birds, too, my friend :)
But honestly, you don't seem interested in an exchange, more like a fight, and I don't want to get into a pissing contest with you over who has more experience. The all-caps business and the "come at me" tone just kinda suck, so...no thanks.
She’s free to fly away anywhere so wants and she chooses to be with the family that rescued her, so that’s her home. They are bonded.
Doves and pigeons will stay where they know they are fed, its why alot of people raise pigeons
Yes and they should have known that and not tried to push her out she probably felt very rejected when this stupid family tried to get rid of her. You never heard of homing pigeons?
@@faithreturns333 She probably thought it was a game, like other animals do, that she was supposed to find her way home, I doubt the bird suspected something sinister from her keepers.
@@faithreturns333 You’re acting like this bird has human emotions yes his bird has emotions but not that deep. OML chill
@@faithreturns333 After what this family did for that bird you call them a "stupid family"? If they want to give it a chance to go free it's their choice since they put so much love and effort into that bird's care, and their decision seems like a perfectly logical one. Then it's up to the bird whether it wants to come back or not.
2:38. "I don't know, I guess we'll just wing it."
LOL.
So sweet the Dove comes back to the family that rescued her.
I am so unpretty 😭 When I go to the bank, they turn the cameras off. At least I am a big star on TH-cam. So don't feel too bad for me, dear bec
I want everyone to see peace (￣ ▽ ￣) 👍✨💕

@@AxxLAfriku yea you are
@Mr. Poutress P. Fortrageas Doves and pigeons are not the same species buddy
@@AxxLAfriku I hope that the people at the bank don't have nightmares after seeing you
My Uncle Reece raised doves and pigeons. He passed away when I was a teenager, but I'll never forget the time he let me hold a baby dove that had just hatched. RIP, kind soul.
Doves get attached, so pls respect her deep character and need for love.
Wow animals are so lovely, cute, sweet and such an adorable❣️. Do you have a pet?
@@marcolorenzo00089 a betta and a gecko now, but others (dogs, cats, bird, bearded dragon) have called me their human. How about you?
@@5DNRG I have a German Shepherd and a cat
@@5DNRG that is so nice of you
My dad raised an injured dove we found outside. We helped her recover and let her fly off. A year later she came back with 2 little doves. When my dad held out his arm, she flew and sat on it perfectly like she used to do.
😂 I know that I'm not the only one who died of laughter when she or he was perched up on the cellphone 😂
The dad had his phone on Airplane mode. 🤣
@@johnnygallos0939 it’s so the wife don’t find out he’s having an affair. 😂😂😂
Even the dove is grateful for who ever helped, I wish I could have that relationship with any animal.
Dogs and kittens came be the same. Very loyal if you rescue one. They will be yours for life 💕
We humans r very ungrateful.
Dear for the dove that family is everything as they have nurtured him since it opened eyes. So it's his family
You can. Please try and then keep on trying.
You will and you will find your perfect fit soon
My wife and I have done this before. We have a dove in our tree named blue that we had with a broken wing for six weeks. She is not tame and although she never has been she did land in my hand one day. We have lived here for 15 years and always fed the birds. They even bring their babies to show them where to get a meal.
If you Love something set it free.
If it returns to you it's yours.
I've had doves nest outside my front door for literally decades. Generations no doubt. Lovely little birds.
If this isn’t the cutest thing ever…she is forever grateful to your family and the bond you all have with her will be a lifetime…I hope you don’t move! Her on that ceiling fan and with your dog…hysterical!
I loved that s-l-o-w NASCAR race in circles on that fan. Lol 😅
@@cblanerun Right…lol
It's a he , females don't have that black ring around their neck only males do
Well looks like you guys have been adopted. Sometimes you don't get to choose your animal family they choose you.
My family and I rescued a adult female Mourning Dove once, we named her Clarice. She never completely trusted us, but once she flew away, a dove couple nested in our tree. Just knowing the doves are there fills me with joy.
Their bond is adorable 🥰🥰.
I guess by now the bird is officially part of the family 💖
Wow animals are so lovely, cute, sweet and such an adorable💗. Do you have a pet?
It's so cool that Trigger just trusted them! Such a cool bird!
You are her family... That's a wonderful privilege.
Are you sure Trigger hasn't got some homing pigeon in her blood? She keeps returning to human family, LOL. ❤
Doves ARE pigeon descendants, so I wouldn't be surprised if that were true.
I saved a collared dove that was weak and in my alleyway next to my house. I gave it shelter in a cat travel box as well as seed and water. Now 'Snowy' comes to my garden all the time and has brought an entire flock of collared doves over that visit each day in the garden. I don't have anywhere near the relationship they have with trigger, but I feel that they now trust me and I love watching them every day
Hi! question, we are trying to decide when and where to release our collared dove that was injured 2 weeks ago in a big city 30 miles from here but she's better now. Did you release your dove to a flock or did she find a flock on her own?
I myself raised a dove and he came sometimes back to say "hello" after he had learned to fly. But then he founded his own family. Nice memories anyway.
Hopefully, Trigger's instincts are still strong enough that she can avoid predators out in the wild, as well as strangers (people) that might do her harm or get kidnapped (birdnapped).
Pigeons can recognize individual faces like corvids and since pigeons and doves are technically the same bird I wouldn’t be surprised if she had the same ability. And she should be able to still recognize hawks and the such as predators so hopefully she’ll be fine
@@lookingupwithnathan9647 ... Yes let's hope so. I was also talking about cats & dogs. Obviously she is used to that pet dog, but she could possibly make a mistake of being friendly with a dog stranger that would think of her as food, not to mention cats that stay still & silent in the grass. Maybe even snakes up in a tree. Or poisoned seeds/kibble put out by people to control pests. Hopefully none of those.
@@robwebnoid5763 Good point. Like you said, hopefully none of those come true
This channel is always full of positivity and hope. :)
Conscious, loving folks who did do the best thing re Trigger’s freedom but ended up having the best of both worlds. 💞🕊💞
I had a pure white dove visit my garden in New Malden for 6 weeks, in 2014.
Was absolutely besotted by him. Many beautiful photos and memories.
God bless all who are kind.
God bless those who fight tooth and nail for the children! 🙏🏻
Hello again “Someone.” 🤗
That’s beautiful. Thank you, Lord.
I was crying within 45 seconds lol. Beautiful to see this
I love that subtle brown color, what a cutie. Clearly she loves to be around them
So precious...wow...Trigger is beautiful. I rescued a baby dove and the doves started hanging out on my porch area in Kansas many years ago...it was such an honor.
I love those birds. I feed them every day
Ring necked Doves are amazing birds! They love their people ..... I have shared my home with them a few times and when they fly over that rainbow bridge they leave a huge hole behind ... but , I would question the 25 year life span... the experts that I have consulted, say 15 is a good, ripe old age for a dove... but... we will find out how Trigger fares! What a great experience for this family!
I think the 25 year lifespan just means a dove could live to that age. A dog COULD live to be 30, but it would be extremely rare.
Edit: I looked up the lifespans of a few different Columbidae species, and it looks like racing pigeons are the ones that live to be a bit older.
When they showed the clip of her perched on a phone I lost it 🤣 ~structurrrrrrre~
I felt like crying!
Doves and pigeons are amazing
i wish all animals got help like this! :(
Trigger said “Baby I’m not going nowhere! This my home too! What you thought??!” 😂😂😂
That is one funny bird. Thank You for sharing.
Wow animals are so lovely, cute, sweet and such an adorable❣️. Do you have a pet?
That dove is so in love with you guys. You’re stuck for life!
They named it Letter Pigeon we have that too..grown up in house when they release they come back 🕊
How cute! We have a dove too. My little Chihuahua caught our dove when she was a baby. We nurtured Emily back to health and as with Trigger, she wouldn't leave - actually Emily couldn't leave, she couldn't fly. We've had her now for 20 yrs!!! It's funny but we bought a dove at a bird farm for Emily, the gal asked us how we knew her sex and we told her it was her very sweet cooing - the gal told us we had a male haha - we couldn't change her name because she knew it - and very well!! So, we bought a female (: it didn't take much time at all for them to hang out and be best friends! Dove are awesome and very smart!!
hi i just found a baby dove but i don’t know what to feed him, he can fly for a bit but he still can’t get the hang of it. he is still a baby but he’s bigger than the size of my palm and has feathers, would you mind sharing what you fed your dove when he/she was a baby? and what he eats now that he/she is older?
Quail food and calcium grit. Ours likes strawberries. I realize your question is from a year ago but answering it in case anyone needs it. Idk about baby doves.
Why is everyone so surprised about birds' capacity for bonding and intelligence? We never seem to stop underestimating the creatures we share the planet with. Any rescuer (except sociopaths) is a hero in my book. Good for you all! :)
It's a really heart-warming video!
Animals are Amazing!!❤
Wow animals are so lovely, cute, sweet and such an adorable💗. Do you have a pet?
I ♥️♥️ the Dove. And I can swear that they Are a living Spirit, the most loving and gentlest of Spirits at that. Days before my mother passed away there were 2 Doves just walking around our home. And right On the Day that she passed, one of them made their Home in the corner of our Front Porch and just sat there quietly for 3 days. It was when we came back from her Funeral that it was no longer there. I'll never forget that Dove ever. It brought me Peace and I Missed it when it was gone. If a Dove came to my home now I would consider it nothing shirt of a blessing~.
Ty for taking care of it.. ♥️♥️
They are truly sweet birds.
I have many mourning doves at my house every day.
I feed them and give them fresh water.
They really are a blessing to have around.
They are not tame but I can get close to them and I love the way they look at me.
God's beautiful creatures
I have always been so infatuated with doves, they’re simply just so graceful ❤️
Trigger the dove bird never leaves her new home. 1:01. 😊. 🕊. She brings hope.
Which just shows how much “family” is who loves and cares for us.
Dogs deserve more love
Wow animals are so lovely, cute, sweet and such an adorable😍. Do you have a pet?
That's great that she comes back. She has the best of both worlds!
Sweet, cool bird. We rescued a cape canary that was injured when I was growing up, it had the cutest 'personality' of all bird pets I had.
How wonderful !!
The coo of the collared dover always reminds me of my childhood at my grandparents. A couple of weeks ago I went back to my old university (I'm 48 now) and a dove started coo-ing. It gelt like my grandparents were with me, almost, and I had a little cry. Thinking about all the journeys I've been on since they passed away. But it was a happy cry.
Never been much of a bird person but there is a pair that nest above my door every year. They don’t really destroy anything so I let them be. They do startle me sometimes when I open the door and they fly off lol
I wish the best for that dove!❤️❤️
That family just made a lifelong friendship
What a sweet brib, thank you for saving this lil one.
We used to have a few of these as pets. Wonderful memories
😆 riding the ceiling fan was too cute ❤
That is so cute. That bird loves y'all.
So sweet ❤️
Trigger was like : I'm gonna trolll the dog Hey dog catch me if you can
That’s so adorable 🥰
Amazing.
Thanks for keep and save her.
That is amazing! ❤️
Wow animals are so lovely, cute, sweet and such an adorable❣️. Do you have a pet?
What an amazing gift to have someone like this little dove in your life! Be grateful. The bonding was obvious. Like any family member, she may or may not be the responsibility you (realized you) asked for, but she’s yours now. The reason she wants to be close is because birds are flock animals. People who think birds should be thrown in a cage, room, or otherwise kept from their people family either don’t realize this, or are cruel. Hopefully she’ll bond with another dove as well, as she gets older.
Also, if she gets sick, make sure to take her to an avian vet, not a cat / dog vet, because the anatomies are different in some key ways. Talk with parrot owners also for important information- like no candles, nonstick pans, perfumes, etc. Avian respiratory systems are many more times more sensitive than humans. Their varied diet is important as well (just as important to know what to avoid, like avocados). I’ll admit being a bird parent is far more work than a cat or dog
Nice one
This is one of the most positive channels I have ever seen. It uplifts your spirits when you feel down and out. Kudos to the platform creators and the contributors.
😄Got homing pigeons here. Our cat goes in their shed and spends the night with them. 😊
Try to live with the dove. What a cute dove.
Sucha beautiful story ❤️🕊️
I love these stories about wildlife bonding with we humans. Best feeling 😊
Such a glorious story, beautiful family, home, farm, and dovie.
Okay I love Trigger 🥰
Wow animals are so lovely, cute, sweet and such an adorable💗. Do you have a pet?
Touching story.
It makes me so happy to know there are bonds like these between animals and humans.
♥️
Just absolutely adorable all round.
God bless this family. 🕊️
She’s adorable! What a gift! Treasure her always!
The dove on the van, looks like a carousel ride
in an adventure park 😁
Wow animals are so lovely, cute, sweet and such an adorable❣️. Do you have a pet?
I grew up on a farm on the west coast where September 1st is beginning of dove hunting season. That looked like it was somewhere on the west coast. For the sake of the family and bird’s life, I hope they bring it in doors during the hunting season.
Lil dove imprinted herself with your family ❤your her pack thank you for saving her
It's miraculous when wild creatures trust a human. Rejoice!
You "guess you'll just wing it..." 😆 Sorry couldn't help myself for a perfect bird pun. Thank you for saving Trigger and making her part of your family no matter how crazy things get. You obviously have a kind family and are raising children to love animals and they took the initiative to save Trigger and that says a lot about how they're raised. I'm excited for their future and everyone else. 😀🥰🕊
This isn't them, You do realize this is the dodo?
OMG! That is one of the most endearing stories. Since doves can live to 25 yrs you guys will have to take her with you if you move; or she will be heartbroken 💔.Thanks for sharing that 😀
Wow animals are so lovely, cute, sweet and such an adorable😍. Do you have a pet?
It's a gift from nature, you helped me, I will give my tnkx everyday 👍
Who said you had to let her go??? They make excellent pets!!!! The best!!!
Doves and chickens will always come back to home where they were raised. So its impossible to let them free 100%. Your home has become their home too😂
Pigeons are lovely birds. I could never understand why some people call them rats of the bird species.
Pigeons are lovely. But the bird in this video is a dove
@@KarelleDIY "There's no difference between a pigeon and a dove in scientific nomenclature, but colloquial English tends to categorize them by size. Something called a dove is generally smaller than something called a pigeon, but that's not always the case. A common pigeon, for example, is called both a rock dove and a rock pigeon."
What an awesome story.
What a great opportunity to share a life with a dove and the dove be free to fly and roam.
Thanks for instilling such good stuff in your kiddos. 💕💕💕✌️❤️
Wow animals are so lovely, cute, sweet and such an adorable💗. Do you have a pet?
Noah's dove found a home. You are blessed.
The family blessed Trigger by saving its life; and now Trigger is blessing the family with its daily visits.
I know several people that raised baby doves. They are all like this. Live outside but constantly come and hang out with their families. Very loving birds.
So cute
Seres Maravilhosos 🙏 🙌 ❤️
Wow congrats on your success! One thing I e noticed is that ring net doves tend to be much tamer than other breeds such as mourning doves. And once you let them outside, they will always return for a while. But please don’t ever throw a bird up in the air. Some, like many doves, won’t open their wings when being thrown upward. Congrats on all of it, but especially the feeding! Since doves and pigeons produce crop milk, they are more more difficult to feed and raise. What a beautiful bird. AND a wonderful family for saving it.
Dove s are beautiful
I just love what you guys are doing with that beautiful 🕊 we need a whole lot more people with hearts like you guys.
❤️ this video!
👍🙏👏
Please do not neglect her for good intentions. Every corner of your home belongs to her too. Because she loves you so much, and you too
What are you talking about ?
Amazing Dove Tale!💟
Merry Christmas and god bless you everyone. ☀️
Some people: "Baby pigeons look fugly!"
