Yes, our little Picardy is a bird dog- ground birds that is, for example, grouse. But, for lack of neighbourhood grouse, Zoë focusses her attention and all birding instincts to the mourning doves. This time of year, we have quite a few of these lovely little birds around the 'hood. A pair are actually building a nest in our Blue Spruce. These doves spend a lot of time resting on ground cover and love the base of our 40 ft firs - much to Picardy delight!
Zoë is so focussed when a dove is in her sights - and let's face it, most of the time, the birds are totally oblivious to her. She approaches so carefully and silently - very careful not to arouse attention. She holds her position so long that she actually starts to shake!!
