sad heart rose as a bird lover and breeder/keeper of birds imo, leaving the birds positioned over the foyer might not be in their best interests.

although they did live there when Prince was alive, things are very different now. with people constantly filing in and out cold drafts and smells from remodeling like paint fumes, carpet glue etc. in their world, this would be toxic and affect them somewhat.

i am not saying the folks at the Park are negligent, but constant traffic would be stressful to a bird who had lived in more or less undisturbed surroundings until then. a more sheltered alcove might be better for them.

if you happen to ever, ever see a bird standing on the bottom of its cage when before it had been standing on its perch, this would be the time to immediately take the bird to a vet, after putting it under a heat lamp or on a heating pad.


on another note, i heard somewhere that the little sweeties were approaching twenty years of age, which is pretty old for doves. r.i.p Majesty sweetie sad

According to social media, Prince's dove, Majesty has passed. Prince has 19 doves painted at Paisley and 2 live Doves to make 21. Majesty should be replaced. He had 21 for a reason.

Yes, dear, he had a reason: he liked doves. He also liked orchids. Not everything he did had a deep mystical meaning. Knock it off, it's getting really boring.

I fail to understand why vegan Prince had jailed birds in cages. I sure hope Majesty does NOT get replaced.

I see what you mean. I think of vegetarianism as a diet and veganism as a lifestyle. But by the time Prince made some new choices for himself those birds were at home. How could he put them out. That would have sucked.

I may be wrong but I doubt doves have a 30 years lifespan.

Birds, when you let them out of their cages they'll fly around and play then go back in. It's not so bad.

She was a beautiful bird.
I am also interested in knowing how often he talked to them or stood by them; I'm imagining it had to be some of the time.i can't see passing them every day without stopping here and there.
I'd like to see that. Wish there was some footage or someone would speak of seeing this.
I laugh when I think of Mel B's interview with p about them. Didn't she ask when Prince mentioned there were babies if Prince "mated" the doves, and he was polite enough to not say, "Uh, they didn't need any encouragement."

I wonder what happened to those babies. Are those the only two he ever had?

Prince had two doves named Majesty and Divinity. The birds who live on the grounds are credited for singing on Prince’s album, “One Night Alone.” Since his death, however, Nelson shares that birds have remained silent.

“If they’re quiet, it doesn’t feel the same,” said Nelson. “After he passed, they weren’t talking. When I first came in, I’m like, ‘Where [are] the doves? What’s going on?”

She was assured that the doves were still on the compound, but hadn’t been as vocal since Prince never returned home.

While touring Studio A in Prince’s estate, Al Roker shares that everything in the studio has been left just as Prince left it. Fortunate enough, to hear the doves while touring, Roker states, “It’s literally doves crying right now.”

Prince had two doves — Majesty and Divinity — whose singing could be heard throughout the compound when the singer was alive. They’re even credited as “ambient singing” on his album One Nite Alone... And, since the singer died, Paisley Park has been eerily silent, devoid of bird song as Majesty and Divinity mourn, too.

“After he passed, they weren’t talking,” Nelson told Roker. So she encouraged the staff to play some of Prince’s music to make things sound a little more like home. The doves responded in kind and Roker himself confirmed that as he walked through Paisley Park, he could hear them, back at it again with the crying.

“I heard these sounds when I was here earlier and it is literally doves crying right now,” Roker said. Good! I’m glad Divinity and Majesty are doing okay.

Prince was only began for a short time. He ate dairy all the time. One recent cook describes how much he liked her teriyaki salmon.
The Roberts, cooks for the last three years, described him as "mostly vegetarian".
Look at the Paisley Park menu.

- Yes, it´s true. He wasnt always vegan, but I think being vegetarian is already a proof of compassion. It was real cool of him to be vegetarian and write about it.

Mmmh I've missed that. Salmon? When would that have been? That's not even vergetarian? He was celebrated as a vegan or vegetarian not so long ago by some veg' organization though wasn't he?

Can people stop micro-analyzing and judging for one minute and think of the little birdies? both of them probably missed Prince terribly. sad

If they lived 25 plus years, somebody was doing something right. rolleyes

Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

I agree! Obvs, those birds were very well cared for. Birds in captivity live MUCH longer than wild ones. And I can't imagine Prince ignoring those birds for any length of time. I mean, c'mon, if people hire petsitters for daily walks, NATCH someone was checking those critturs when he was away, whether it was staff (and nobody but an idiot would leave PP completely empty 24 hours a day for any length of time, so the birds had to have had someone checking on them if P didn't take them with.) or someone who knew something about birds, or whatever. Yeebus, folks, stop geting frantic! lol

Also, in general, I remember P saying something about there having been some babies at one point during the interview with Scary Spice (I think that's her name... ). Nobody knew about it until they noticed the eggs hatching. lol sneaky birds, but that makes it fairly clear that they were male and female. It's kinda hard to tell what sex birds are, usually, unless you go by size. Girls are bigger than boys, and often have duller plumage. But with both birds being white, no idea, especially since I've only gotten a brief look via pics maybe once or twice?

I imagine myself inside your bedroom; oh, I imagine myself in your sky.
