Gala is a beautiful bird. I got a dove because I was tired of the parakeet screeching and the seed shells everywhere. Doves eat the whole seed shell and all and when they talk it's in soft coos. Gala is special though. She imitates me. She imitates my laugh, my sneezes, and my coughs. I've never heard of a dove imitating people before, but Gala sure does. She's very smart and she tells me when her food bowl is empty and when her water holders are empty. She has come up with different signals for each. Her voice is so soft and relaxing. I love hearing her. She got sick a few months ago and I worried I would lose her and that's when I realized how much I really loved her. Before then, I took her for granted but when I thought she might be gone soon, I was so upset. I decided then that I wouldn't take her for granted anymore. She is so amazing and special and there will never be another bird like her.
