Eurasian Collared Dove sounds

Featuring the coo-ing song and the grunt-like sound. Also featured is the Mourning Dove song.

[@kathandler]

We laughed very hard when we learned that the elegant cooing and derpy AAH yell came from the same bird!

[@robertwilson6494]

The screeching sound is a running joke in my family, for one, its sounds like they are shouting "BEER!! BEER!!" and also I can do a fairly good impression of the sound, I get asked to do it all the time loool 😂😂😂😂

[@smaybius]

Ancient Greeks heard the cooing as "decaocto decaocto decaocto decaocto"

[@jamesnyugien8767]

The screeching sound is either a warning to chase off other birds or an alerting sound that they are coming. Weird funny but relaxing. I live in az

[@smaybius]

It's equivalent to the domestic dove's laughs, except that it's done after landing.

[@andyk7544]

The most relaxing sound in the world

[@donny-boucher]

I think the grunt sounds are funny. At least they're not very loud about it.

[@joshuadsmalls2329]

That screeching

[@stepexgd6628]

Always reminds me of Poland, where I‘d hear that call all the time, confusing it with Owls or Cuckoos

[@kathygirlygirl4109]

We've always had the quiet cooing mourning doves and then a few years ago we started getting the ones that are a bit annoying and make a squawking sound. Thank you for posting this so I know the mourning doves aren't changing. We've just been invaded by the eurasian collared doves. Good to know.

[@smaybius]

It's said that the mourning doves are dominating the collared doves

[@martogodgoat516]

@@smaybius bro the mourning doves are only in the U.S.A, in Europe we have Eurasian collared doves and i eat them

I've heard this bird before, I live in utah and I finally know where this sound comes from, thank you!

Becoming more and more common each year in Utah. Really bad in my neighborhood 😖

[@CarlG2003]

Tank you! I finally figured out the screening sound I thought it was a crow

[@SharkAndRexyNR]

Also 0:34 to 0:44 though, a choir of Collared Doves cooing at the same time.

[@ToddAndrewCole]

That sounds so familiar; you could have recorded it my back yard. I'm in Wishram, WA. Thank you for the awesome video. Take care.

[@karendurant4981]

Could be a band-tailed pigeon. They sound the same. You can tell the difference by their cuckoo cuckoo when they take off and fly, and the wings don't make as much noise as the band tails

[@SharkAndRexyNR]

Relaxing coos from the doves, the grunt noise though.

[@joshuadsmalls2329]

Haha love their screeching😂😂😂😂😂😂😄😄😄😄😄

[@nathanguillot4936]

This is sound of summer to me. I remember sitting on my balcony on summer nights as a kid, and just listening to their call.

[@alysani0193]

This sound just reminds me of my childhood. playing outside and watching the "pigeons" that i called them at the time flying around. these doves always sit on my chimney and coo, the noise is amplified where my fireplace is so its like they are sitting in my living room.

[@sevenman9672]

In Britain you get the collared ones and the big woodpigeons

[@hannaharocha7811]

i live in arizona and certain times of the year i hear these guys constantly

[@martogodgoat516]

this is the sound of a bussin' meal

[@syxodude91]

We have both Eurasian Collared Doves and Mourning Doves in my city.

[@marsanchezhuerta8218]

Lovely sounds!!!

I think I recorded audio of them hooting on my channel 3 years ago. I was hoping they were owls!

Awww my little sweet pretty lovely baby cutoo 😍🕊️❤️😆🐦😘 I have a pet dove named Bob and I ❤ him a lot infact about to bring a female wifey for him 🤩😍 He's currently sleeping 😴 My cutoo baby ❤

[@Duvmasta]

The collared doves are really calling!

[@karendurant4981]

In my neighborhood these guys have started flocking with the band tail pigeons. That sound is a band tail pigeon sound. They're much more aggressive than the band tails and will chase them off of our feeders every time they show up. It almost seems like they imitate the band Tails behavior in order to be able to flock with them. Would love to hear from a scientist.

[@elijr1025]

I Imagine some one coming out of there house and throwing a shoe at the doves while saying I’m trying to sleep.

[@HussamNasser]

Please, does this Asian Doves exist in America?🤔

[@martogodgoat516]

yes they do they exist in America and Europe. In America they were brought by Asians and Europeans

[@jf8468]

I don’t hear too many morning doves just the collards

[@weslobb5749]

All I read here are positive comments. They are an invasive species. I no longer hear morning dove and, sharp tails vanish after these pigeons eat everything. I for one really wish they were gone

[@martogodgoat516]

i don't complain for some free food if you're asking me

[@cacogenicist]

Ah, OK. That's what I'm hearing here in Portland, OR. Eurasian? How did they end up in N. American cities?

[@neighborhood-naturalist]

They arrived in our part of the state (Mid-Willamette Valley, OR) in the mid 2000s, now they're commonplace. From Wikipedia: "In 1974, fewer than 50 Eurasian collared doves escaped captivity in Nassau, New Providence, Bahamas.[17] From the Bahamas, the species spread to Florida,[18] and is now found in nearly every state in the US,[19] as well as in Mexico.[20] In Arkansas (United States), the species was recorded first in 1989 and since then has grown in numbers and is now present in 42 of 75 counties in the state. It spread from the southeast corner of the state in 1997 to the northwest corner in 5 years, covering a distance of about 500 km (310 mi) at a rate of 100 km (62 mi) per year.[21] This is more than double the rate of 45 km (28 mi) per year observed in Europe.[22] As of 2012, few negative impacts have been demonstrated in Florida, where the species is most prolific.[23][24] However, the species is known as an aggressive competitor, and there is concern that as populations continue to grow, native birds will be outcompeted by the invaders.[23] However, one study found that Eurasian collared doves are not more aggressive or competitive than native mourning doves, despite similar dietary preferences.[25]"

@@neighborhood-naturalist I remember them from Germany and was thrilled when I first heard them here.

[@rottenapple_]

My pet eurasian collard dove makes that screeching sound when it flies to me. Wonder what that means...

[@neighborhood-naturalist]

Don't know what it means but I've made the same observation. They seem to make that grunt/screech when they fly, especially right before they land. I had a heck of a time getting a video of one making that sound because it's hard to track a flying bird with a video camera.

[@rottenapple_]

@@neighborhood-naturalist I've been told it's a sound they make to greet their companion/flock members. Like they're saying "Hey I'm here!". I've raised mine since it was 2 weeks old so that's probably why it makes that sound flying to me :)

[@donny-boucher]

@@rottenapple_ That makes sense. I sorta get that impression when I watch them

[@joshuasdsmalls2157]

A warning call to scare other birds away, An attention getter call for mating, It typically happens before they land.

[@beavus4129]

To bad mine flew away it used to do this sound to me and my dad all the time

[@JaquiezErenezIslamiyah]

I found the culprit!!! Lol

[@McDoinky]

AAAAH

[@sandiegotrafficlightstrain354]

Why does their neck get all big when they do that?

[@neighborhood-naturalist]

That's actually a good question with an interesting answer. A bird's voice organ, called a syrinx, is in the chest between the lungs at the junction of the bronchial tubes. In people, the larynx is at the top of the trachea. In doves and pigeons, the sound comes from deep in the chest and then resonates in a chamber in the throat, somewhat like a frog. They don't need to open their mouth to sing because the sound comes from the throat chamber.
