That must smell amazing. I use basil in my work all the time, and I always love it's fresh smell.

Listen though!! Morning doves as a family unit are freaking adorable. When the babies start to learn to fly the parents follow at a distint and when they all meet up they like rub on each other like a group hug it's freakin cuuutee.

Would this be a bird flu vector if you're ingesting the stuff?

That is literally the best place I've ever seen a dove nest. The bird has won dove nests.

WAY better than in the tire rut of a dirt road or driveway...which is far too often where they pick.
