		The Inca dove could never have inspired the term "dove of peace," as they are pugnacious to a fault and fight like little fiends.
		Inca doves breed the year round, nor does there appear to be any notable increase or decline of this activity correlated with season.
		Field marks: The chief field marks of the Inca dove are the long tail with its white edges and the scaled appearance of the feathers oyer much of the body, which is due to the darker outline of their edges.

	Dove - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pigeons and doves are stout-bodied birds with short necks and short slender bills with a fleshy cere.
		Unlike most other birds, (but see flamingo), the doves and pigeons produce "crop milk", which is secreted by a sloughing of fluid-filled cells from the lining of the crop.
		A dove was supposed to have been released by Noah after the flood in order to find land; it came back carrying an olive branch, telling Noah that, somewhere, there was land.

	Inca Dove (Columbina inca)
		Doves need to drink water, but they can still survive in the desert because they are such strong, fast fliers that they can fly to sources of water.
		Note to bird feeders: Our doves are susceptable to trichonomiasis, a fatal disease caused by a parasite passed from dove to dove in their feed/water or during billing.
		The parasites cause the doves to starve to death as their throats swell with the parasite.

	EGGSHELL REMOVAL AND NEST IN RING DOVES
		Doves brooding newly hatched squabs are more likely to arise, look down, and resettle than incubating doves, behavior that may increase the probability of detection and removal of an eggshell.
		All doves were reproductively inexperienced when paired in breeding cages (81 X 46 X 36 cm), which were equipped with a food container, grit container, water dispenser, glass nest bowl (10.8 cm diam., 3.8 cm depth), and straw.
		The reactions of the doves to the shells were either observed directly through one-way observation windows, or the location of the shell in the breeding cage was checked at 15 minute intervals for a period of one hour.

	Doves
		Dove nests are haphazard platforms of sticks, so flimsy that the eggs or young sometimes fall through them; as if to make up for this, the birds may make repeated nesting attempts, raising several broods per year.
		Doves love water, and it is only through their strong powers of flight that they are able to thrive in the desert; they may fly long distances to get to reliable sources of water.
		White-winged Doves also disperse saguaro seeds: they eat the fruit, then regurgitate it to their young; in the process some seed falls beneath the nest where it germinates, and the young saguaro grows in the protection of the tree.

	Inca Dove
		Doves are unique from other birds since they do not have to raise their head in order to drink (Leahy, 1982).
		Doves and pigeons feed their young with a "crop-milk" that is made of cellular material that is sloughed from areas of specialized epithelial tissue in each lobe of the crop.
		This dove is strong in flight, with rapid wing beats; however, it often appears jerky and slow when flying short distances.
