Valentine's Day

On the wings of love...

Here is some trivia regarding doves and birds, in relation to their association with Valentine's Day.

"In the Middle Ages, people began to send love letters on Valentine's Day. Medieval Europeans believed that birds began to mate on Feb. 14.

Lovebirds, colorful birds found in Africa, are so named because they sit closely together in pairs. Doves are symbols of loyalty and love, because they mate for life and share the care of their babies." – http://www.people.howstuffworks.com
