A few facts about wild Doves,(Streptopelia Decaocto) UK

[@MAXLAWLESSIBIZA]

Awesome video. I have a dove I've been feeding on my window-ledge. I live in a 1st floor apartment and get great pleasure from calling him/her in the morning for breakfast. Man do they love bird nuts! Sometimes, when I sit on the doorstep for a cheeky cigarette, he'll drop down to the street and eyeball me... Amazing creatures. :)

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

They are really amusing , brilliant birds.

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

I'm very pleased you liked the video....I think if you want anything in life you have to be patient, in nature it is well worth the wait.....the rewards are there for everyone.

[@jackiee3703]

Just come across your lovely video. Isn’t it an absolute treat when wild birds make contact with us. I love the doves in our garden, especially when they fly to me when I go outside. Thank you John.

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

That's wonderful , your most welcome .

[@ancientsprout]

Thank for for this video😊 I have a couple of buddies now. One is a bit more timid but it is warming up to me. They will eat next to me and one of them will almost eat from my hand. They come to me when i call them. They are so cute and they study me with curiosity. One almost walked inside when the balcony door was open! I found that they really love walnuts and almonds😊 They give me a lot of joy

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

Yes you are right....when doves first see you they will be frightened but if you put food out for them and sit some distance away they will gain confidence and stay longer...it takes a while till they realise you mean them no harm, move closer day by day, eventually you can hold the bowl with food in it and they will eat it.

[@DarkoLoncar-hf8ms]

Pkease, what do you think...is it possible ...there is a tree near ma balkony..is it possible one day to come on my balkonu and eat from my heand...as from your's

[@JohnnyPhamPiano]

You must love animals and also have a lot of patient. Thanks for sharing.

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

I think thats the key having patience

[@anniezagAnnie0854]

Beautiful! Can't stop watching! Thank you so much.

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

Most Welcome

[@MarkMaysey]

That's nice, birds will only go to a gentle soul. We have lots of doves here. I built a huge walk in bird cage and we started raising doves, but lately I've been pleading with my wife to just let them go and they will continue coming back, but will live their life naturally. I just shared this video with my wife too. Beautiful post! Mark

[@Koraxus]

only rock pigeons come to me

[@sportsandautomotives4739]

*Wow nurturing beasts is a very good job God will do you good* 👍👍👍👍 😘😍👌👌👌😊 .....

[@sportsandautomotives4739]

Nice wild dove 🕊 😘😍👌👌👌😊...

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

It took about a month for them to take food from me but I think they had watched lots of other birds take food from my hands without coming to any harm, they now come from up to a hundred yards away when I whistle them, many thanks for stopping by !

[@hovawart16]

Have you always been so patient or is it something you've worked on throughout your life? You sit and stand so remarkably and peacefully still. I very much enjoyed seeing the doves come to your hands.

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

Thank you so much for your wonderful comments, my best wishes to you !

[@jdmassey]

Hello, my friend! A new subscriber here! There is nothing like the beauty of God's nature and ability to care for them!

[@wuaew]

[@RaymondJPena-po2wh]

Thank you for this video.. 🕊. . .

[@lovelyamerah]

Nice video and the little garden area looks lovely!!

[@gwenstacy9843]

This really sweet of you to feed birdies like this.💚💙

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

Thankyou for your kind comments.

[@chaldon2viewJ84M]

Thanks for that lovely video. Nice to see all the birds back in our garden again.

[@erniepenny221]

How are the birds doing now John, out in N.Z. we call them ring neck doves. They have a lovely coo sound. Regards.

[@HhHh-jd1uf]

Wow.very good

[@my35Xvision]

Beautiful video and interesting information on the Doves!

[@mahatmagandhi7395]

like 68👍🌹 for nice video 🎥🌹

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

I'm glad you liked it, many thanks !

[@Shungabali]

interesting and well produced as usual....the image is "top" quality , the music too...and you are able to sit still like a statue...thumbs up!

[@IanPhillipsWildlife]

Great channel, I used to hand feed Collared Doves as a child, but now living in central London I hardly ever see them. The local fox makes up for it though.

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

I love all wildlife

[@LJG907]

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing ...

[@JeannetteK]

Wonderful to see these doves coming to the feeding bowl and you are sitting so quiet. Also the little birds coming to picking some food too. Very well filmed. ♥♥Jeannette♥♥

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

Thank you for your valued comments and watching my video, the Doves are getting quite used to me now....I dont have to stay quite so still, I whistle and they fly to me !

[@Englandsbestlover]

I feed about 15 doves in my garden everyday. I don’t hand feed them yet. Been coming to my garden for about 2 years. We started off with 1 white and 1 white with brown speckles, now we have a whole range of patterned and colours. It’s amazing coz I feel like a granddad

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

Thats Brilliant

[@alyssabright6723]

Only 3 years??

[@alyssabright6723]

Thanks

[@nanidogmomstevens6386]

Thanks John. I have a family that has nested right outside my office window. She doesn’t seem bothered when I move the shade to watch. Problem is our house will be pressure washed then painted sometime after the rain stops next week. I wish I could move the nest. What think you.?Be blest ☦️👩🏻‍🦳🐾. 🇺🇸carla

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

I think if the nest is disturbed they will abandon it and make a nest somewhere they feel safer .

[@Timmsy]

Wonderful video...you're remarkable. ..my favourite bird is the spotted neck dove here in Australia. .they seem timid tho I'll try your tips on feeding . Thank you 👍🌼

[@DynamixWarePro]

Nice video, always liked doves but have not seen any in ages.

[@dandelion8261]

I always love your videos!!

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

Thanks for taking the time to watch and good luck with your Doves my friend.

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

Your very kind, many thanks and best wishes !

[@Violet1974]

So beautiful!

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

Violet1974 Thank you so much Violet...glad you liked it !

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

Wow praise indeed thanks and best wishes !

[@zelalemzeleke1277]

But if he make any movement what happens?

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

Thanks for your good comments and info about your Collared Doves, it's much appreciated....I will however still go with the RSPB version until they are proven wrong .

[@firefoxgaming5469]

How does he get the wild doves to eat from his hand like that

[@Letsstartliving]

I have some wild doves around house what can I begin to feed them to earn there confidence? Have great day

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

They love sunflower seeds.

[@DjVojc]

Love the video :) any chance of the name of the soundtrack..

[@MecchaKakkoi]

Voyo Lazni I think it's this: audionautix.com/Music/Plantation.mp3

[@cliffdariff74]

Whats good food or seed. I've got two couples always searching the grass in my backyard

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

Thanks for watching my friend....I am pleased you like them.

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

Thanks for your kind words they are much appreciated , best wishes .

[@castaway123100]

What are those tiny red pellets?

[@loolfactorie]

Nice to see alot of nature lovers in these comments, so many people hate animals like common pigeons and urban foxes, which is sad. I myself have a collared Dove that I have nursed back to health, but it is blind in one eye and am reluctant to let it back into the wild.

[@blindangela6410]

Sir my baby dove is vomiting now and 3 times... How can i help my dove?

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

Thanks for taking the time to visit my channel and your positive comments, they make it all worthwhile .

[@paulgalligan1916]

Good man at one... I've a lot of them out my back garden I feed them every day.. I also have a pair an two youngsters in an Avery they were born in captivity they wouldn't last long in the wild So I look after them the wild ones swoop down from the trees an hang about with them.. peace..

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

All comes to those that wait as they say, nice to hear from you....best wishes !

[@erra404]

How long does it take for them to learn to come take the food from a bowl you are holding like that?

[@davidbrown9914]

my pirate uncle who used to hunt obsessively wouldn't shoot doves cuz he called them 'holy birds'. i can see why. Great video, very moving. thank you.

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

Most welcome my friend .

[@garryibbetson9912]

Got a pair nesting in my back yard not much of a nest a few twigs with two eggs how they don't fall out

[@ask-mw5hk]

Do you know whatt he difference is between a ring neck dove and Eurasian collared dove?

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

It's a different species.

[@KipperSarnie]

Excellent, well done. But I think there is a lot of misunderstanding on how the Collared Dove settled in the UK & to be honest I think the RSPB has it wrong. I flew & bred Collared Doves with my fancy pigeons back in the fifties in Kent & there was also a large avery of Collared Doves in Queens Park Hastings at the same time. I was given my first pair by a Budgie breeder about 1956 ish, he had won them at a caged bird show. The birds were free to come & go as they pleased.

[@Metsada007]

I would love to get this close to birds. Unfortunately, I don't have a garden.

[@wuaew]

i always c wild doves n my house they all gather around and start drinking water from the water i leave for my other pets .. some times i can find more than 10 and they all stay n one place but each time i approch to them , they immediately fly away

[@alfredochavez9555]

Hi Jhon,can this doves live I whether lows 20 temperatures

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

Thanks for the good comments Mark...like yourself I believe in live and let live, in nature battles are fought for survival not greed.

[@lolb1559]

My grandmama’s albino dove died at 17 years of age😭💕

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

Wow that was a grand age !!!

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

Your welcome Annie....have a great weekend.

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

I'm glad you liked it Jeannette.... it was fun to make, the Doves made perfect actors.

[@ChristianSegonne]

j'ai des tourterelles qui viennent aussi a mes mangeoires, il me faudra essayer comme vous :) merci a bientot

جميل جدا

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

Ive seen four taken by a Sparrow Hawk in a month...it usually goes for the young ones then the weak then the unwary ....suppose that's nature at least they don't kill for fun...unlike Cats !!!!!

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

These come here twice a day then fly off somewhere, many thanks.

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

Your always welcome , come back soon !

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

I can but try.....thanks my friend !

[@MrAnwar22]

I can't get any birds to my garden my neighbour had tons on cats roaming around garden to garden shitting and pissing everywhere when no cats her he have Magpie that chases others birds away and chasing wood mouse and one day it took mouse peaking its head off and flew away with it

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

sorry to hear that, I dont have an answer to your problem .

[@michaelhornby2961]

So sad 3 years in the wild , and 16, 17 in captivity .

[@melvoid]

I think I'm the first viewer, again!

[@renzki6645]

We have lots of this kind of doves here in the philippines. As pet. Its either they are in the petshop. I have that before. But they are elusive . They are not wild. Unlike the original native zebra dove here. And the bleeding heart dove which find here in the philippines. We cannot touch them . Even we get in the wild as pet. They are so ilisive and they dont want to touch them.. That bird you feed, is the same like pigeon

[@BorisCybagooseuk]

The doves i feed are called collared doves , they are wild doves in the UK , they do not live in cages .

[@sachinshendre4735]

🙏

[@RudePoint]

A hawks just taken one of mine, if I had a gun I'll tell you!!

[@anonymekossa1190]

very bad idea to feed the doves because they are very noisy ,you are going to listen their song Roo koo koo all years, and that coing is going to make you insane

[@653j521]

Like windchimes--some love them and some loathe them. But if you feel that way, why did you watch this video?

[@sharathyadav954]

@@653j521 exactly, that's my point. I love doves 💖
