They are social birds that live in colonies. Peregrine falcons and hawks prey upon them. These birds make a cooing sound. They have a life span of up to 15 years. Like all pigeons, white doves eat mostly seeds.
Male doves build shallow, saucer-like nests made of sticks and twigs.
Nests are usually located on ledges, like seaside cliffs or window sills on skyscrapers. Both parents incubate the eggs. Without our visitors' support, Enchanted Learning would soon be off-line.
