Doves are small, pigeon-related[1] birds.
General Infomation[]
- Doves, like pigeons, are stout-bodied, with short necks and slender bills, fleshy ceres and vary in size. The smallest species of dove and pigeon is the size of a House Sparrow, and weighs only twenty-two grams,[2] whilst the largest species is almost the size of a turkey, and weighs two to four kilograms.[3]
- Mostly, doves and pigeons feed on nuts, seeds and fruit, though they commonly feed on littered human food.
- Most species are common and some are considered pests, though a few species are rarer, one being extinct in the wild.[4]
