No safe places out there, they might have sensed.
I suppose if it had done droppings on his head it would have been lucky!
Let's hope that they are not the only ones to not want to leave the casa del papa!
Maybe if he had brought one of his beloved cats to the balcony the doves wouldn't have stayed around so long!
