Eurasian Collared Dove Call | Bird Sounds

[@hamsterpouches]

The sound reminds me of visiting my Grandparents. They always had doves in the garden. It's a comforting sound now.

[@Talkathon408]

Not when you're trying to get to sleep lol.

[@hamsterpouches]

@@Talkathon408 haha

[@huskytail]

Me too. My grandparents' old apartment was next to a huge park at the limits of the city and early in the morning, under the beautiful summer sun in Plovdiv, the doves were there. I now have them next to my current apartment 2000km away and every morning I think about my grandparents- such bittersweet sound.

Same here.. only ever heard this sound in my grandparents' garden in Germany, never at home in the UK. Hear it every day where I live now. Very nostalgic sound, full of hiraeth ❤

[@michelleuk676]

For me it's the sound of summer🤗

[@MyBirdingYear]

Yes, same here and, where I am, the sound of swifts calling overhead

[@sonjalewis3047]

Don't you get to hear birds like the nightingale, blackbird, thrushes, or skylarks?

[@ItsLarry-in1jq]

Agreed

[@twmax4137]

And the sound of cuteness

[@apathyzen9730]

@@sonjalewis3047 doves are everywhere in the summer and have a very distinct voice. If you're not into birds, songbirds for you do just "chirp". Kinda too generic.🙂

[@DeathbyProxy]

When I was little I had to go to hospital for 2 operations. I remember sitting in my bed near the window and hearing them in the morning, and in my child mind I heard them say “get well, soon”. I can still hear it if I imagine.

[@cherylkeller5181]

That is so cute 😊

[@dannycardona211]

The sound they make when they fly 🤣❤

There’s one that comes back every spring to my neighborhood. I’ve wondered for years what that bleating goat sound was

[@rottenapple_]

They make wonderful companion bird, as long as you have the time and desire to care for one. I raised my collared dove from a fledgling and she's my buddy for life.

[@lugiadialga1525]

I always heard this bird in my childhood when I woke up. Im so glad I still hear them. Reminds me of my childhood always nice to hear

[@Matt_Fanta]

I hear this bird ever morning, makes me smile.

These are my favorite type of birds. I've heard them my whole life and til this day still do when I take a walk outside. They are so comforting to have around and are always welcome at my house ❤️

I love communicating with this dove when I'm in my back yard chillin. I use my hands to bird call and they always respond back. Birds are awesome. 😅

[@NatWasTakenAgain]

I hear this every morning and it's so relaxing. I'm glad they're at my vaca home too

[@eclipsesonic]

0:24 - Lol, I always find it funny when doves make this noise outside my house. 🤣🤣

[@VinylFoxx23]

I've been trying to find this for so long! Every source said it was a morning dove but it just didn't sound right. Now this is the sound I was looking for!

[@MyBirdingYear]

Good to hear the video helped you out. Thanks for watching!

[@gatanegra6317]

They always remind me of my late grandmother. My grandmother never usually swore or used bad language, but she always used to say that collared doves sound as if they are calling out: "Da-ddy's p*ssed!" I always laugh when I hear them.

[@damunaik4]

I live in Dubai and I've loved seeing and hearing Laughing Doves. Then today I saw a larger and collared variation with a bluish tinge and having this cool call. I've been binging on their videos ever since. That screech is just amazing, it sounds like it could be a parrot 😂 It's so cool to think they are capable of producing such very different sounds.

[@chrishenderson5444]

a flock has recently made my neigborhood its home.. the sounds they make had me curious as they look uncannily similar to mourning doves but are larger and emit a coo'ing variant. they are a welcome addition to the neighborhood

[@ChanarIsmail]

I wish there were more of these birds around

[@Aquascorpicorn]

I finally found what sound it was!!! Growing up, I always thought it was an Owl. Then, at some point, I just thought "Wait, how can it be an Owl when it's daytime outside?" So I kept on wondering what kind of bird or thing it was. I also thought it was possibly a dog that is very,very far away, and I might have heard its last remaining echos. But that while listening to the actual sound of this bird wouldn't make sense. So that wasn't a dog. So I instead of keeping on guessing on every possible thing the sound was, I looked up every possible bird it could possibly be, then I made it to this bird. I've unlocked my XBOX achievement there.

[@Noswiatel]

Lmfao same.

[@-cinnamonangela-]

we all thought that these were owl sounds

[@BirdsandGhibliFan]

These birds are so cute! 🥰 Their other call is funny and cute, too! It sounds like someone yelling, “Ha!” I remember seeing them many years ago in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, before my family and I departed for our cruise trip. At first, I mistook them for Mourning Doves, until I realized that they lacked spots on their wings, a distinguishable field mark in Mourning Doves, and spotted a collared ring on their neck, a field mark that Mourning Doves do not possess. It’s remarkable hearing how they made their way to the Caribbean and the U.S., and how they have still thrived. Thanks for sharing!

[@sonjalewis3047]

They do NOT sound like Mourning Doves. The Collared Doves, along with imported English Sparrows, House Finches, and (yes) Mockingbirds, create so much racket that we seldom get to hear the fantastic variety of OTHER birds' sounds. And of course, competing against the decibels of leaf blowers etc, does not help.

[@BirdsandGhibliFan]

@@sonjalewis3047 I’ve said that they look like Mourning Doves with a few field mark exceptions, not that they sound like Mourning Doves. I can obviously tell that both species’ coos sound vastly different, and I have grown up listening to Mourning Doves cooing most of my life to spot the difference. I can see that you’re not a fan of these doves, but you’re entitled to your opinion of them. When I visited Florida, they were not a nuisance to me, so my experience and opinion of them will obviously differ from yours.

[@IonTC6]

I FiNALLY FOUND FOUND IT, I LOVED THIS BIRD, INCLUDING THE CUCU SOUND

So this is the bird that I have been hearing since I moved to Chico from Sacramento. Initially I thought it might be a Mourning Dove but the call just didn't sound the same. Thank you for posting the video.

No

[@Redd0w]

I always get so many of these guys in my garden as we have a bird feeder and they will do this noise so much and what’s funny about it is when they do it they are usually chasing another dove whilst doing it and bowing up and down.

[@karlhaese7183]

My favourite dove. That shreeking sound upon landing very similar to our Cape Turtle Dove although vall quiet different

[@ivankovwink1311]

THIS! This is my favorite bird call! I always wondered the name of this bird since I was a kid, so for like 16 years I guess? Every summer we go for vacation on the coast and when I hear these birds' call I always stop what I'm doing and tune into it, for me it means summer, relaxing, the sea, beautiful sunsets, calming down, peace, feeling happy and fulfilled.

[@segaking5846]

[@Lewisthecarrotman]

I love this bird, every time I step outside, I hear this call.

[@Blue_Lugia]

When I visited Hungary many years ago, we had one that used to land in a tree not far from where we were during the afternoons/early evenings. I used to look up and wonder what kind of bird that was because I couldn't see it very well. But now I know that it was a dove. It made the same sound everytime it landed (the first sound in this video)

[@BioBush]

The flight call is pretty great. I might sound like that after lifting my body weight into the air. The three note call just sounds like every pigeon in the world. I'm sure there's more to appreciate, but I don't have that information yet. :) Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@MyBirdingYear]

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching as always. Hope you have a great weekend!

[@sonjalewis3047]

No, it doesn't sound like every other pigeon!! If you're in the Western U.S., please learn about Mourning Doves. Such a pretty bird, and lovely voice. It was the favorite new bird for my ornithology classmate from Hawaii.

[@wischi4985]

This pigeon song is a banger

[@joshbaileyphotography]

[@MyBirdingYear]

[@RCT3Crashes100]

As a fun fact, the collared dove’s specific epithet - _decaocto_ - is Greek for the number eighteen, and is said to reflect a story where a housemaid, upset that her employers only paid her 18 pieces of silver a year, prayed to Zeus for guidance. Hearing her prayers, Zeus created this dove, so that it could tell the world of the injustice she experienced by repeating the word ‘eighteen’ through its calls. If you listen carefully, it does kinda sound like the dove’s call matches up! ‘de-cao-cto!’

We have a lot of these that come to our garden. They often come in groups of ten and twelve, though at any given time there are one or two hanging around. They bring their babies with them too, once they are all fledged and well. I really enjoy when they relax and get comfy, because they flop down and then proceed to stretch out a wing, then the other and sit in various configurations and fanning their feathers out. They are just so lovely.
