Nurturing Doves in a Cozy Nest

Fun Fact

Doves and pigeons are unique birds because they can produce 'crop milk' to feed their young! This special, nutritious liquid is made in their crop (a pouch in their throat) and is full of fat and protein, perfect for growing chicks.

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Feather Textures - Use short, feathery strokes to give the doves' plumage a soft, realistic look. Vary shades of white, grey, or even subtle blues.
2. 2🖍️ Nest Details - Employ various brown and tan shades for the twigs, adding texture with small, broken lines to show the individual pieces.
3. 3✨ Leafy Greens - Explore a range of green hues for the leaves, from light lime to deep forest green, to create depth and make the foliage pop.
4. 4🌈 Delicate Blossoms - Choose soft pastels like pink, lilac, or pale yellow for the blossoms, using light pressure to keep them looking fragile and airy.
