We have a pair of doves that come to feed every day in the back garden..
One is so tame he pecks at the door to be fed and stands there waiting while Mo or I tip the food on the floor ( He will come to within a few inches of our hands but will never actually take from them )
They also nest within site of the garden so seem to be around this immidiate area most of the time.
Now, the question is this..
I often see lots of pairs of doves all round the town but they behave lioke normal birds, in that they will fly off as soon as a human gets within 20 yds..
Does anyone know how far from their prefered haunt will doves fly to feed ?
