VOTE to restore the mourning dove to protected song bird status. Stand up for a bit of beauty, a symbol of peace we all can appreciate in the beautiful outdoors. Mourning doves do not damage field crops.
Adult birds feed on insects, weed seeds, and grasshoppers during the spring and summer months.
In the colder months, they move into the fields and feed on grain spilled by mechanical harvesters. Keep the Doves protected in your state and country. It was considered a song bird not for game. No longer so. Doves are no bigger than a Blue Jay or Robin.
