Meeting my DIAMOND DOVES - Ep. 046

Some of you have inquired more about my diamond doves, TuTu and Pepo, so I thought I would do a little vlog sharing the story of these two birds.

That face when he kicked the egg out was too funny 🤣🤣

[@Miramala]

Perfect meme 😅😅😅

[@BirdBath1]

Yea

[@hobbithabits]

"Oh its definitely a female!" And thats how my family ended up with 6 guinea pigs instead of 2 when i was a child. 😂 Theyre so in love, i guess it was fate that Pepo turned out to be a male.

[@seeker296]

anything to make a sale...

[@rhondadavis5387]

I rescued a little diamond dove years ago, it was so sweet and so tiny, they make the prettiest cooing noise.

[@toanao1]

10/10 love the birbs, more than welcome to include as often as you like

[@marianacretu6523]

Yes !♥️

[@CyrusGill-eb4zv]

Your story and our story is very similar. In the morning 13 th August 23 when I was brushing my teeth I saw a small bird sitting in our balcony, I saw it and ignored but my son took him and brought him in the house. We gave him food and water to drink but it didn't not ate a piece of grain. We were hopelesss because we didn't expect that he would survive. We took him to pet shop and bought a female companion for him. We named him NIX and the female we bought OLLEY. Now they laid eggs. ❤❤❤

[@tyrenasmith80]

A painting with them sitting in the nest and the branches from the tree around them would be beautiful.

[@lolybiol]

Aww! I love the way you narrated this love story ❤️. Well done Summer! 👏

[@BirdBath1]

Wonderful

[@wandashaw3551]

So, so adorable. I hope you keep us updated with them, and I love the story you told. Pepo & Tutu, love them already!!

[@BirdBath1]

Love me

[@karenbrackbill79]

What a silly pair! Love seeing the doves and learning their story.

[@chenmy1204]

I feel like this can totally turn into some kind of children's book for adults, especially for first time human parents who don't know what they are doing.

[@karenroberts781]

I haven’t laughed that much in a long while. Thank you for sharing your bird friends with us. Adorable!

[@BirdBath1]

I am a bird

[@theparrotsvoice6143]

Summer, I always knew you were amazing. You just showed me (us) how amazing you really are! Thank you for not buying and for promoting adopt-and-rescue rather than shopping and buying. Thousands (if not millions) of companion birds are left homeless, suffer from neglect and even abuse. Homeless birds need loving homes. There is no reason to buy. Thank you for spreading the message! It will save lives. You're awesome. ❤️

[@ladystardust9707]

OMG this is the most wholesome video on the internet.

[@EdgewoodGarden]

This is one of the funniest things we’ve ever seen! 🤣 Rewatching just for “Oh shit”. 😂 Poor PePo, dude was framed, she volleyed off him! 🥲🥲💀

[@sonyalawlor6084]

Pepo & Tutu are precious! Loved the video and learning about this cute bird. I also love the message of adopt and not shop….so many animals that deserve a loving home❤️

[@AkiSakamotti]

😍Such a lovely couple, Tutu & Pepo.

[@Alwaysherethere]

Hi Summer, I just started watching them again . And I caught myself starting to cry. They are so amazing❤

[@fathimashaji4176]

Nice heart touching video,It was like funny.but a pain some where in the chest....🥰

[@peilinghuang4843]

Thanks for sharing their story. The subtitles was hilarious😂😂, and the music was awesome. Great that you added the adoption message. Thank you!

[@_JanetLouise]

yes! 👍

[@BirdBath1]

Yup

[@deniseprovera785]

That was so captivating! They are adorable! Happy you were able to save TUTU! . Please keep us updated.

[@DaisyOh]

They're wonderful, Summer, thank you for saving them. They're such beautiful creatures. I used to care for a mourning dove I became close to that I named Duvin. Your feathered friends remind me of him.

[@richardjasonminehart3198]

Love it! My dad used to sing the Rolling Stone's song "Sympathy for the Devil," and our dove would do the whoo whoo part!

[@forestsprite5914]

This was sad but so cute too! Would love to see more of them🤗

[@foxruneec]

Great video! Thanks for rescuing them and promoting rescued animals.

[@Yoliplanting]

That is the sweetest thing you've done Summer. Bless your heart, they are so cute together ❤ 💗

[@hhheee3939]

I just really love that u dont keep them in cages. Ever since i was little i always hated seeing a caged birb.

[@cherylpenn4509]

oh hysterical and so lovely.

[@nadineweiler7747]

Loved seeing them....please incorporate some videos in fitire on Tutu and Pepo! Happy Holidays!

[@summerrayneoakes]

Happy Holidays to you as well!

[@trans_plantings]

This saga is best TV. Their behaviors and gestures are such wonderful tells of the shared angst, love, pressures and tribulations of life. Tutu is SO understanding, the way she went to billing upon arrival suggested a sort of “womens intuition”. RIP chicks Teepu & Creetu❣️❣️

[@TheSarahLindy]

When the egg fell!! 🤣🤣🤣 Oh no… oh no… oh no no no no no…

[@alexiapons2883]

Would you believe me if I tell you I almost cryied?? Those babies are adorable!! And you did such a great job putting human's voices to their sad little story. Start writing a Kid's book about them. It will be so sweet.

[@lleo9703]

Thank you for sharing a lovely bird story with us! Please include updates on Pepo and Tutu in the future, they are lucky birdies to have found you!

[@RobertGrillo]

Thanks for rescuing them. They're beautiful. I have fostered many pigeons since we have a network of people here rescuing injured and emaciated city pigeons and rehabilitating them.

[@kristiew6365]

They are so sweet. My daughter has budgies and what we thought were females were a mix of male and female. They hatched two clutches and now we have a split aviary so they do not continue to breed. It was such a cute and fun experience, but we went from 4 birds to 9 in less than a year 🤦. I love doves and maybe one day I will have a pair, but right now we have plenty of feather friends to enjoy.

[@cellinemartins]

I love these lil birbs so much

[@crystalakers9817]

That was so funny. They are very cute.

[@legaleagle422]

How funny that birds resembling your "Gladiator" Mourning Doves would find their way into your update life! Love it.

[@teresaminnick2252]

“Makes me sick to my crop” such cute storyline

[@AshleyDsouza-qm6if]

I have a hen and a rooster and I couldn't agree more with u. They are delight to me and I'm sure the doves are to u .....

[@KikiFu]

This was so funny and sweet. Thank you for sharing Tutu and Pepo with us! I has several wild zebra doves befriend me for a few years. They were so friendly and affectionate. 💕

[@plantslolo475]

Ohhhhh it's so cute ! You seems worried to become grandma hahahah🤣🤣🤣

[@mondraymondo]

Awwwww yay more feathered friend 💖💖💖💖 i adore your home as it welcomes plants and birds. I have a canary and i hope soon after furnishing I can let her out of the cage and play with me. At least your doves won't nibble on the leaves haha

[@marthamiriam8983]

When the egg fell my heart dropped! What a heart touching story.

[@edithfuntanilla6053]

Thank you for sharing. I enjoy watching your vedio. Wonderful. 😚

[@jonstfrancis]

I've been hoping for an update on the doves, they are sooo cute!

[@summerrayneoakes]

Really adorable. Pepo is definitely more accustomed to humans and doesn't mind sitting on a hand and getting filmed, but I really like giving them their space because it seems as if that's what they need, especially in this parenting process.

[@jonstfrancis]

@@summerrayneoakes they'll learn and they have a lovely place to live now

[@42apprentice]

They are very sweet, like smaller versions of our collared doves. Are you going to build the an aviary on the deck for the summer months?

[@summerrayneoakes]

Yes, the plan is to make a nice aviary. Didn't plan on getting birds so soon, so we may have to do a temporary aviary before we do the main one. :)

[@hiverchaud]

Little cuties!!!

[@abhilashamete178]

Tutu & Pepo🐥🐥 💕💕💕 They reminds me Kippee🐔

[@tricetriti2437]

These two are so funny! :D And it's kind of comforting, the fact that even birds have no idea what they're doing the first time around. :)

[@omaam1005]

Hi Summer! Yah, Did enjoy the Bird thing so much. Tutu really appreciated the male friend. I was laughing the whole time of the Bird Story. Oh Shit, maybe I can get a fake egg, Did He purposely kick the egg out of the nest? It was Brilliant. I give Glory to the Great God. Blessings on the Plant collection and the Flock campus. OOh! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

[@summerrayneoakes]

Happy Holidays to you as well! And Pepo totally kicked the egg by accident. I wish we caught it soon afterwards, but we were out of the house and didn't find out until we walked down there and saw the egg on the floor. The video allowed us to know that he had kicked the egg about 2 hours earlier. They are so clumsy and silly! ;)

[@rhondahand6498]

🤣😂🤣😂 Ms. Summer that was the best belly laugh I’ve had in months. Thanks for sharing such a cute story.

[@justavideodiary]

Never heard of Dimond Doves. They are beautiful!

[@rhodealexandre6583]

Very refreshing video. The music, the sequences etc.. perfect in my opinion. You are a talented narrator Summer. 😊

[@shiningstar1869]

Beautiful story 😊 To be continued...

[@mayhmmaydn]

Oh how sweet!! Ty for sharing with us. I really enjoyed watching your feathered friends!!

[@schoolinJOO]

wow i really enjoyed this. thank you summer !

[@karenfreedman9180]

Thank you for sharing your birds. Years ago, I had a male and female parakeets that had 3 broods. I loved watching them loving each other and their babies. I miss them. This was such a sweet video to watch.

[@sandragoerlich7134]

Glad you guys rescued the birds, they definitely in the best home ever, thanks for sharing!!!

[@notfromhawaii]

A way touching dove story.

[@sunflower3572]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰 thanks for sharing!!!

[@Erki750]

[@potaytoes934]

The clip and sub were gold 👌 🤣

[@alliegator1372]

I have the fake eggs super easy and helps the gal get a break . Yours our beautiful little doves💗

[@valtaoimatsukase6072]

Wow my favorite dove.

[@donmcallister3745]

Happy New Year… Tutu & Pepo may you have a bright future… together! You too… Summer Happy, healthy… New Year! “ the dove 🕊 of love… fell off the perch” John Prine

[@hannekevankeulen494]

Every fall/winter two turtle doves take shelter in my tree by my bedroom window. They raise their babies somewhere else in the spring/summer, but every fall/winter they cuddle in my window and make me jealous I'm single! So delightful to watch and I look forward to their return every year!

[@annsosie1515]

Very funny 😄 Great story 🕊🕊

[@thunder402]

Sweet story. I watch eagle cams and yes...things happen. Captions with the music, what a fun story. Best of luck with these 2. They do have a great home now.

[@invertebratsnicolec.3178]

This video was an emotional rollercoaster lol

[@josinawashington6744]

Wonderful video so sweet 🕊🕊

[@trishan.5993]

[@user-bd3nv5np3d]

Lovely 👍

[@hermacharlemagne6367]

This is BEAUTIFUL!!! Presentation is so very inspiring. The background music and imaginary bird conversation made this video interesting and calming. I enjoyed my first bird video almost just I enjoy watching plants. Summer, thanks for sharing!!!!

[@sharonmclaughlin2258]

Loved this video! What adorable birds!!

[@BirdBath1]

Am I too

[@michelera6365]

Loved seeing the birds.

[@summerrayneoakes]

Thanks. They are an adorable duo.

[@dorothymcintosh-sims597]

Summer, so adorable. U put a smile on my face this 2 days before Christmas

[@marsf4883]

They are so cute! Love the little dialogue too, that cracked me up. This was nice, good holiday story for sure! Thanks for sharing.

[@ahmed_Aposhady]

Fabulous 🤩

[@barbkrienke8400]

Tutu and Pepo are so adorable! I just found your channel about a month ago, and was so happy to see your video on one of my favorite local conservatories on Belle Isle in Detroit. ☺️ I learn so much from your videos and love the places and people that you visit! (I’m kind of surprised that the Home & Garden Network doesn’t have you on a show!) Happy holidays!!!

[@BirdBath1]

You as well

[@cathiekaplan1659]

TuTu and Pepo seem to have adjusted to each other. They are so lucky to have you! When I adopted a cockatiel from a shelter"her" name was Mary. I soon found out that Mary was a boy( not a girl) so I renamed him Tupelo.

[@Milquetoast702]

Summer this just brings me so much joy. I mean what a perfect fit . You seem to really love doves i mean i remember in one video you’re walking in the streets and casually saying oh there is so and so I feed him in the morning times. And I LOVE the names you gave them. Great vid!

[@CoffeeGyrl666]

I ❤ the brbs! This was so super sweet and I'd love to see more of them.

[@mimosveta]

you are so exceptional summer. not only did you adopt a weird bird, but you also went out of your way to find her a companion. and the subs on egg-lost video were tp notch, you can really see the horror in his eyes

[@dilenastray8553]

Me and my cat really enjoyed this video. we were both staring at the screen with lot of interest hahahaha!

[@ichimelody88]

Haha. Pepo kicked the egg! Don't worry there will be next! 😁

[@MyPlantWorld]

Oh so cute😍

[@marleneamaya8588]

Beautiful video.

[@maxcardoz7670]

Love for you dear Jesus bless you ❤

[@WildWolfArt]

[@Apero1Spritz]

We need a dedicated series to the life of Tutu and Pepo.
