	During the recent cold spell I was more generous than usual in 
stocking my feeders.  There was more spillage of seed, and to my 
surprise I now have up to six Mourning Doves coming to feed.  This 
might not seem unusual to many of you, but MoDo's are not common on 
the Halifax Peninsula.  In fact last year was the first time that I 
had even one of  these lovely birds in my yard.  In my limited 
experience of them in Bedford, they roosted and nested in trees, and 
were pretty unobtrusive.  I was wondering, though, have they become a 
pest, like pigeons, in places where they are numerous?	Will they 
roost around buildings?
