A mourning dove and her two hatchlings are living in style at Southern Chevrolet in Foley nestled between the hood and windshield of a 42 thousand dollar Silverado.
It wasn’t the bird’s first choice.
“No thoughts of disturbing her until somebody insisted on buying this specific truck,” says sales manager Rick Carlisle so, he hatched a plan.
He would move the nest, and bird at first, to another truck. “We got an identical truck and lined it up. I didn’t know if the color mattered or not to the bird but we got a red one just in case.”
Once in place, he carefully put the nest in the same spot. “The mother bird didn’t seem to mind too much within a few minutes she was settled in like it had never happened.”
She’s become kind of an attraction at the dealership.
But if you are looking for a new truck, “This truck is not for sale until she’s done her thing with her young doves,” this is one is off the market for now.
