The Eurasian Collared-Dove are not shy around humans and I have read that they can be easily tamed. Has anyone tried to hand feed one of these doves? If you enjoyed this post, I’d be very grateful if you’d help it spread by emailing it to a friend, or sharing it on Twitter or Facebook. [...]

This is the first year that I have seen 3 different types of Doves (Eurasian-Collared Dove, Mourning Dove and Inca Dove) showing up at my backyard feeder at the same time. I have been trying to get a photo of them all together but no luck yet. Eurasian-Collared-Dove, Mourning Dove and Inca Dove

I still have a few birds in my backyard that I haven’t shared yet but I wanted to post a few closeups of the regulars first.

The Eurasian Collared-Dove stay around my backyard year-round.

Doves drink continuously, by sucking and swallowing, up to six times faster than other birds.

I posted a close-up of this Eurasian Collared Dove yesterday and I wanted to post another one showing it on the ground. Photo Details: F Number – 4 Exposure Time – 1/4,000 Focal Length – 500
