	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.

	Encyclopedia: Wood Pigeon
		The three western European Columba pigeons, Wood Pigeon, Stock Dove and Rock Dove, though superficially alike, have very distinctive characteristics; the Wood Pigeon may at once be told by its larger size at 16 inches (41 cm) and the white on its neck and wing.
		All pigeons have soft swellings (ceres) at the base of the nostrils, feed their young with "pigeon's milk" regurgitated from the crops of the parents, and have specialized bills through which they can suck up water steadily, unlike other birds.
		In Europe the turtledove, rock pigeon or dove, stock dove, and ringdove or wood pigeon are common.

		The wings were liberally peppered with white spots forming three lines on the greater upperwing-coverts with more diffuse speckling on the lesser upperwing-coverts.
