'So Cute!' Wild Dove Bathes in Woman's Hand in Disney-like Moment

A Michigan woman couldn’t quite believe it when a wild dove she regularly feeds nested in her hand, as she held water for the bird to drink at her home in Middleville on August 12.

Stacey Anne Leeson told Storyful: “Much to my surprise, the wild dove who likes to eat and drink out of my hand tried to take a bath with the little bit of water that was in [it].”

In the video, recorded by Leeson, the bird can be seen stepping onto Leeson’s hand and ruffling its feathers for a few moments.

Leeson, who described the bonding moment as being “so cute!” posted the video on her Twitter account with the caption: “Have you ever had a dove try to take a bath in your hand?” Credit: Stacey Anne Leeson via Storyful
