Dove see chirping near house

Doves are of the same species as the pigeons, we can also call them as wild pigeon. They have brown colors with light color dots. These are commonly seen bird in India. A graceful, slender-tailed, small-headed dove that’s common across the continent. Mourning Doves perch on telephone wires and forage for seeds on the ground; their flight is fast and bullet straight. Their soft, drawn-out calls sound like laments. When taking off, their wings make a sharp whistling or whinnying. Doves are found in almost every part of the world, and there are hundreds of dove species in existence. However, only a handful of doves are commonly available as pets, with the diamond dove and the ring-necked dove as the most popular pet dove species.

There interactions are fun to watch and some consider their sound pleasant.
