Raggle Taggle Gypsy

Gypsy our dove now has two cages a night one and a day one. The night cage is homemade and home designed. The other cage is our house. In the morning when we let her out of her cage she flies out before the doors are fully open. At first she just sat on top of her cage. After a few days she started exploring our house. But every night she would go back to her night home. That was until she found the upstairs. Which is where Gypsy is right now. She spends her whole day up there and that isn't a problem. What is a problem is that she doesn't know how to come back down so someone has to bring her down (Mama or Anna. I don't like holding her because I don't think she likes it.)
you see the rope above Annas head? thats Gypsy's bed. She sleeps in there every night.
Theo is very good at NOT eating her. He has snapped at her a few times. But what dog with a hunting instinct could resist snapping at a stupid dove who literally flies less then a foot away? Anyway Theo is trying as hard as he can not to eat her and has so far succeeded.

I must admit that sometimes she is very stupid like how she doesn't think Theo is a danger. She is fooled by mirrors that she bow-coos to it. From what I have learned doves bow-coo when another dove comes into their territory.
