I had to put my 2 cents in on this thread. We have a variety of doves that come to our feeders. We have mourning doves and ring neck doves. My daughter who volunteers at the local wildlife rescue has several white doves in our old aviary that she cares for. They are precious, the little coos and strange scawks make me smile. They are not suited for life outside and can't take the cold. I wonder if she ever thinks about who's paying the electric bill on that heat bulb she keeps on all winter.
