Doves are okay. They beat pigeons.

Do you mean 'morning' doves? I have lots of them, I love their song, I wonder if that's where the term lonesome dove came from. They move just the way pigeons do but smaller, always see them in pairs.

Very tasty...

Really yes, we have a few, not many, around the village. A couple of pairs come (came) to our bird feeders.

I say "come (came)" because one was taken by a peregrine falcon a few months ago.

Its sad to see a pair and a single dove feeding. I hope he/she finds another mate soon

So do I. One year we had a pair that nested in the palm tree outside our bedroom window and we could the pair of chicks grow up and fledge.

I also found this French video rather amusing:

Spooky, just before I went to bed I was asked a question about doves, then when I wake up I see this question. Anyway here's a picture of the dove I was asked about last night that I took a couple of years ago during a particularly nasty drought. They're not common around my area but we had a few move in probably because of the drought. When we got some rain they moved on. It's a Wompoo Fruit Dove.

Not a lot of meat there ...I prefer grouse or pheasant.

Wow, what a beautiful and colourful plumage. Would stand out like a sore thumb when the eagles or buzzards are about

Doesn't look at all like the doves in my yard.

Surprisingly very hard to spot in the foliage, the colours are great camouflage in rain forest.

Er, when you say you are from Newcastle, I presume you don't mean Newcastle-on-Tyne.

Pretty sure they are all the same species.

Rock doves.

Edit: NM... Same family of birds: Pigeons and doves belong to the same family of birds (Columbidae),

I like what it sounds like...
When doves cry.
