I have a Hawaii dove story to share with you that happened just yesterday... across the street, under a building, I noticed a mongoose. Super small, super cute, long like a ferret, but smaller. I started tossing him some shrimps and he loves them. I have to throw bread off to the side for the doves so they don't bother him. We named him Willy Willy mongoose. 🤙 Yesterday I watched him close up, through my binoculars, and he casually waded into the crowd of birds. They didn't seem alarmed and didn't fly away. Huh. Anyway, he sauntered in slowly but then in a flash struck at a big ol spotted dove, like a snake, and ran under the building with it. Wow! No wonder the mynahs alert like crazy whenever they spot him. I still can't get it out of my head.
