Cacti Cactus Dove Doves Prickly Pear Prickly Pears At Nest
EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about finding the perfect spot for a cozy home! This Common Ground Dove has taken nesting to a whole new level, literally. Perched on top of a prickly pear cactus in Texas, USA, this little birdie knows how to make its presence known along the Gulf coast and Mexico. It's like witnessing a true Texan love story - birds and cacti united in harmony! Who would have thought that these spiky plants could provide such comfort? It seems our feathery friend has found the ultimate combination of safety and style. No need for fancy architecture when you can nestle into nature's own fortress! And let's not forget about those adorable dove babies soon to hatch. They'll be growing up with some serious thorny protection. Talk about tough love! These little ones will learn early on how to navigate life amidst prickly pears. John Cancalosi captured this incredible moment in wildlife photography history, reminding us that even in the harshest environments, beauty finds its way through. So next time you're strolling along the Gulf coast or exploring Mexico's natural wonders, keep an eye out for these delightful doves making their homes among the prickly pears – it’s truly a sight worth tweeting about!
