Mourning Dove

Collect all pages-cleaned and sized to make a miniature
book for your dolls.

        Assemble a mini doll sized book: Right, is the Mourning Dove's illustration and verse. Visitors can collect all the bird illustrations and verse from "Bird Children" to print and construct a small book of verse for their dolls. Simply drag each png. into a Word Document, print, cut out all of the images the same size and staple the pages together at the left edge. Squeeze out some white school glue along the stapled edge of the pages and attach a cardboard cover. 

Mourning Dove is very sweet,
She likes nice grains and seeds to eat;
In her soft voice she calls: "Coo, coo,"
Which means in Dove talk, "I love you."

       Both the Mourning Dove and Pigeon are from the same family of birds classified under Columbidaens. However, both of these related birds have their differences.

To make this paper bird, cut out the body and wings, and slots in the flaps. Score and bend along the dotted line. Fit slots on the back into each other so black edges fit inside. Cut slots for the wings. Lock these in place and bend up outside the claws.
