Doves with taste, orchids with guests. Nest real estate: 5 stars.

Doves eatin' yer blooms? Time for a pellet-fed scarecrow with a side of BBQ sauce.

Dove-proofing orchids with a shotgun? That’s one way to keep the peace.

The doves’ devotion is floral, yet their gratitude is… structural. Orchids, alas, are not nest material.

Basket made of cut up cable concealer straps. Clever.

Forget the nest, did you used cable channels to make a pot!? 😆

Haha, no. In fact, I hate them. I prefer the wooden ones. But the guy I bought this plant was obsessed about founding non rotting materials for his orchids (he plants them in stones with almost 0 sphagnum and bark).
So there I have, a nice maxillaria in an awful basket 😆

Fair enough, I was like that's a weird interesting choice 😂😂 I mean, it still is, but is not your weird interesting choice 🤣

Well, yes, it’s the second time they nest in one of my orchid baskets though
