I got all fan girlish one time in NYC when we walked past the Scholastic building.<br /><br />Ever since we started talking about birds, Jill, I keep seeing bird stuff everywhere! Read an article on Islam and Turks and birds (when I was finishing my research the other day) and found all sorts of symbolism for the doves that are already in the story - apparently I did right by putting in the doves in the scene when Baha takes a turn for the worse; doves symbolise hope for lovers.
