Contemplating Mourning Doves and Love

Interesting. This is what we see all of the time in my neck of the woods.

I am reading that they are "game birds," just like pheasant which originated in China.
Non native species can be hunted, bred, owned, etc.
Native species have much greater restrictions.
Still, they are pleasant birds which mate for life.

pheasants are from Asia, mourning doves are not, but both are considered game birds here.
