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,  whilst the largest species is almost the size of a turkey, and weighs two to four kilograms.

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.
