I have a pet Mourning Dove :) A nest fell out of the tree with 2 babies, one died and the other one was abandoned. We took her in and raised her and she's been fine ever since.

@RyanRandyKeats Are you going to be released to the wild or she too domesticated for that?

This is the first I knew that doves were commonly killed for food, let alone being the number one game bird in America. I am so surprised. Not wild turkeys? Not ducks? not geese? I have never heard of anyone in my area (northern and central NYS) hunting doves.

Who could hunt these beautiful birds? If the dove stands between you and starvation-- if it supplies only 2 bites of food--I understand, but otherwise...I don't.

A pair nested outside my door this spring. I enjoyed every moment.

@catalot You should post your mourning dove video as a video response to this one, so other people can see it.

I am so pissed and sad.. We had this bird.. it had a nest in our front door.. it was there for at least 2 and a half weeks!

It didn't mind us passing by.. she and her nest are just a few inches away from physical contact.. but one day.. I tried to give it a cup with feeds so close to its nest.. it flew away and never came back!

I am broken hearted :(

@tuberoako777 Better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.

Beautiful angels - it should be against the law for anyone harm these creatures.

@msdemara Is this comment just aimed at the general public?

@Nikki817 it should be against the law for our brothers to go to PRISON for smoking a marijuana ciggarette. Backwards people make me sick, WHAT ABOUT HUMANITY? birds are here for us to eat, shooting them for pure sport is one thing, but it's not a huge fucking injustice COME ON!

I love hunting dove its good saine fun. i am a 16 year old minnesotan and even i know that hunters like myself dont hunt for food. Not that we dont enjoy the game we kill. we do it for the excitement and it also just a good way to spend time with friends and family. doves do taste very very good but that is not the main motive behind hunting them. and btw hunters give more to the enviornment than we take every year we pay 100 plus dollars on stamps liscences and permits, it all gets put back.

I'm going to genocide the hell out of some dubs in less than a month. Stock up on bacon, japs, and cream cheese, cause the price on bacon wrapped dove breasts is about to go up, cuz!
