Every morning at dawn we were greeted by the chorus of many birds in the trees around the house. One morning while John and Peggy were out playing golf in a tournament we tried to answer the phone, but with no success. Nobody there! Immediately after we heard a distant voice, sounding much like John saying 'Pickup the phone'. 'Pickup the phone' Trying the best we could, we could not answer it.....the voice kept calling 'Pickup the phone'. Turns out this was the soft call from the Doves, around the house, sometimes they sounded just like the ringing phone.
