We have Eurasian Collared doves, also known as "ring necks" and although they are considered an invasive species, we still like them. Who wouldn't like something as lovable looking as this? Group aaahhh moment . . . .
I agree Jane and love to see them visiting my garden. I just wish the Wood Pigeons would find somewhere else to go!!
I get mourning doves at my property, mooching off the chicken food. Very sweet, but I have to admit I have a softer spot for the ravens.
We feed both types of doves as well as tons of sparrows, cardinals and mockingbirds and others ! Ocassionally we see a few common ground doves,, tiny things !
