Paul Miller's Place

Holmes County, Ohio


These two flights are just off the porch that is attached to the side of the garage. Paul used 1/4 inch, green plastic coated wire for the cover. A little expensive, but it sure makes for a nice and very safe flight. These two side by side flights hold Diamond doves, Blue Ground doves and even a small hook-bill.

Two views of the flights off the garage.

A very light White Tail Pied and a pair of Blue Ground doves from the above flights.


This five-sided flight is down the yard a little bit from the garage. It houses a pair of Tamborine doves and three pairs of Brilliant and White Tail Diamond doves. The photo was taken from the porch off the garage.

Brilliant and very light White Tail Diamond doves live in the five-sided flight along with a pair of Tamborines.


Up the hill from the garage are a few out building sheds and a two different rows of flights. The sheds house birds mainly in the winter. The flights are heavily planted and house species such as the larger Asian Turtle dove, Australian Crested pigeons and Bar-shouldered doves. The following pictures show some of the birds in these flights.

A Golden-heart in the flight and a few shots of a Golden-heart chick just out of the nest. Paul has good success with his Golden-hearts raising their own in his heavily planted flights.

A pair of Green-wings in the planted flights and a few extra shots of them.

The Mountain-witch doves were on eggs and very elusive. These were the best shots I could get. A very attractive bird though.

A Triangular-spotted Pigeon

A White-crowned Pigeon hanging out with a Ringneck dove. He does have an injured beak.

Paul has the "larger" Asian Turtle Dove. His pair was on the nest in a densly planted flight. They were very illusive.

This male Tragopan was very cooperative for pictures, even with the hen setting tight on eggs in the nest-box.
