Yes, very interesting about the sweet and peaceful dove.
I know some birds do like to take dirt baths, my chickens do it often. They're dusting for small mites, trying to get rid of them. They do something else - we call "Anting" where they lay their wings out. The other day I could see a group of cute little birdies, I think they are Wrens, out on the logs from a tree we had to cut down. I noticed them because they were making quite a lot of noise.
