Did you know? Doves Drink Differently Than Other Birds!

❤️ Doves (and Pigeons) have some unique qualities. They have a built-in straw! Their bill!
All DOVES & Pigeons (over 300 species) drink water with their heads down and bill immersed. Most other species of birds scoop water into their mouth & tilt their head up so the water goes down their throat. PIGEONS drink the same way as doves by sucking water with their head down. 🥤🐦
❤️ Doves & Pigeons are a group of birds in the Columbidae family. ❤️

Yes! Just like how my little Mourning Dove, Plumita drank water. It’s too cute!

I love to see the doves drink. In my house I offer them water and they come to get refresh. I always see inca doves, collar doves and white- winged doves of course 😊

I love it! I always have fresh water for our outside birds too. I particularly love it when they splash around! 💦

I always found it amazing that they could use their beaks as straws!

Me too! Definitely helpful to know when rescuing a baby. Very different feeding style than other baby birds. ❤️🐦
