This photo is taken today! small scaled doves have spent the day feeding on the remains of food that fall from my chicken cages, then drink some water (and to bathe a little) in ponds that form after watering my fruit trees . Finally, fly toward the walls to sunbathing! one can say that these tiny doves have found a relaxation center in the middle of the drought!
