THERE ARE 3 COMMON SOUNDS THAT MOURNING DOVES MAKE:
SOUND #1:
The easiest sound to identify is a song given by males trying to attract a mate. Listen for a low “coo-ah, coo-coo-coo.”
Many people describe this song as hauntful or sad. In fact, this bird got its name because its call is so mournful.
Many people confuse the Mourning Dove’s song with an owl. I know I did at first!
SOUND #2:
The second sound you may hear is produced by paired males. It’s given while nest building or when trying to attract their female to the nest site.
Listen for a three parted call that sounds like “coo-OO-oo”, with the middle note being highest.
SOUND #3:
When they take off or land, Mourning Doves make a loud whistling noise. That sound comes from their wings!
It’s thought that these wing whistles help warn other doves to the presence of a predator.
Mourning Doves are common visitors to bird feeding stations! These birds are widespread and are found throughout most of North America!
Look for them perched high up in trees or on a telephone wire near your home. They are also commonly seen on the ground, which is where they do most of their feeding.

[@alihassemer06]

the first one is my favorite, it’s nostalgic to me because i distinctly remember waking up to that noise 24/7 when i was younger

[@imanimani2x]

Me too! I would always think it was an owl

[@redbengal2864]

Me too. Takes me back to being about 6 years old every time I hear it.

[@INVISEBOMB7000]

that sound is etched into my brain dude

[@rodsmade]

do they usually make sound in the morning?

[@amsj2906]

Used to hear them all day at my old house -- miss it! 🕊

[@thedayawaits]

I love these doves. My mother and I would watch this channel together during the pandemic until she suddenly died of surprise cancer in July of this year. Now all that I think of is the memory of watching these birds with her.

[@vandamner]

Sorry for your loss Katherine

[@Duvmasta]

Surprise cancer?

[@thedayawaits]

@@Duvmasta No family history. Discovered when already metastatic. Lived 170 days or so after diagnosis.

[@Duvmasta]

@@thedayawaits what kind of cancer was it?

[@erikcasillas5866]

I’m sorry for your loss. I hope all is well

[@madisuuhn]

There is a male mourning dove outside my window right now. Just had surgery this morning. This is a lovely sound to recover to.. 🖤

[@youtuber3328]

it's nice 2 meet u + sorry 2 hear u had surgery

[@siggyhogden]

I Hope you recovered well from your surgery ❤️

[@amymarx9504]

I thought I was hearing owls at odd times. My dad told me it’s mourning doves. I came across your video and it confirmed what we are hearing in my backyard here in the Midwest

[@soniavalencia1900]

Same here

[@xheidix1974]

Yeah I hear them every day in the spring and summer but couldn't place it.

[@FlowerGirlRosie]

When I was in 1st grade I lived in the Midwest and thought they were owls. Later on My family moved to the southeast and I heard this same call, thought it was an owl and decided to figure it out. Ended up finding out it was the mourning dove

[@SHOGUNS85]

Same

[@Runthedistanceevenifitsunknown]

Yeah Louisiana

[@Foobie07]

It's impressive how a small creature can make such a loud sound.

[@arisslol3739]

Is it just me or did anyone else think that this dove’s sound was an owl

[@samhain9394]

0:53 you and everyone else ever. Lol.

[@jennifer7648]

Yes!!! As I am playing this video, I am hearing the exact same sound outside our bedroom window. I thought for sure it was an owl or two!

[@JJbIrd0608]

This sounds like the backyard of my childhood. ❤

[@sierrabeltran4884]

Reminds me of waking up from a nap at my grandparents house and hearing this bird in the backyard of this huge tree I used to climb 😢

[@RickOnTheDrums]

Me too.

[@anniereichert2198]

Me too

[@alm5992]

I had no idea that the whistling sound came from their wings! I always wondered how they made such a tiny squeaking sound while taking off but no other time.

[@dj_alvarez]

In Arizona, we have a lot of these beautiful birds! I moved to Utah in 2015, but every time I come back to AZ, I’m instantly filled with joy as these doves gave me so many memories when I would wake up and the first thing I would hear are these guys doing their normal thing!

[@TheSimpleRomantic]

Tucson is where I first heard mourning doves as a kid in 1966 - at Camp Rancho Los Cerros. We lived in Sierra Vista then.

[@darknightmike10yearsago]

Yep. We hear them in AZ all the time in the morning.

[@75julianne]

When I lived with my mom she would make the mourning dove coo with her hands perfectly out the window and they would answer back! Now that she’s passed away I hear the coo when I leave my house and I always think of her ❤️

[@jennifersaar1611]

That's so lovely. ❤ Your mom sounds like a cool lady. Also, I had to smile because I do the same thing using my voice to mimic the calls. I don't know whether I do a good job - the birds respond and come closer, but they may just be there to gawk at the crazy lady. 😂

[@josiahpierce2906]

That is the loveliest thing I’ve ever heard

[@r0zugorudo]

I was today years old when I found out what kind of bird sang this beautiful call that I love hearing. Number 1 is my favorite. I’m happy to find out it’s a mourning dove! Thank you! 🕊️

[@TheArizonaAssasin]

I spent about 41 years of my 43 wondering what type of bird it was that sounded this call around Houston, and then it finally occurred to me to look up local birds and their calls on KZbin, and now I can distinguish 4 whole bird species that are around here. 🤣 Mourning Doves, Grackles, Blue Jays and Mockingbirds that mimic car alarms. 🤣

[@anniereichert2198]

Me too

[@shellymac7597]

I love Mourning Doves. Last year there was a nest in the tree right outside my bedroom window. I would wake up to them singing. I have heard all of their calls, but mostly the first one. I live in Ohio, I hope that the Mourning Doves come back soon.

[@Itsjanellealiyah]

I’m in Maryland, and they’ve finally came back here!

[@joehostile4541]

They must stay there the whole winter because I live in Ontario, Canada and they’re here all winter. I fed a steady flock of 8 all winter at my bird feeders. A few days though I had over 20.

[@Riflery]

I'm in Ohio too. I used to hear these doves outside in the woods around my house years ago, but I haven't heard them in probably 5 years. I hope one day they come back. Edit: 3 months later. They came back. One has made it's nest in a tree hanging over my house.

[@shellymac7597]

@@Riflery I hope that they come back.

[@misteeladee]

I’m in N.E. Ohio and I hear these birds all the time. I was learning what owl calls sound like, when this sound heard in the background was recognized by some folks and identified as the Mourning Dove. Beautiful song, not sad at all.

[@vanessataber515]

I have a morning dove nesting on my back patio. She laid 2 eggs, one is hatched now 😍 I've heard them call for over a year but always thought it was an owl. She's a good mama here in Nashville, TN USA!

[@joehostile4541]

Lucky

[@hondaraLa]

Is your patio screened in? I don’t know if they can’t see the screen, but once on our patio they need help getting back out.

[@reptillicus4753]

We see tons of these beauties in Maine. Their calls are so wonderous and beautiful and so very calming. They’re one of my favorite birds ever and I love seeing them. They bring me so much joy. Chickadees are a close second favorite too!

[@rebeccarollins5382]

I love doves. They are a reminder God is with me and helping me. I see them all the time. People often tell me they find me. Lol. Outside my apartment they recently moved there so now I wake up to dove noises and go to bed to dove noises. As well as see them as I walk my dog. Thank you for this. I have family and friends so have never seen nor heard one so I appreciate it so much. I am in Pleasanton California

[@tatycardenas6962]

A family of these doves made a nest in my back yard and I feel honored. They are all my children now ❤️

[@sunvol4503]

I've loved these birds since I was a kid and can even replicate their call with my hands.

[@GGiblet]

You are blessed! My Popa could do that also and it was like magic. You always carry a bird with you🌈☀

[@SilveniumTheDrifter]

My uncle had a pair of mourning doves that he'd rescued. He kept them in a big cage on his screened-in porch (unless there was a hurricane or bad weather) . I'd sit there for hours and listen to them. It was really relaxing. I always watch these kinds of videos to go back to those times in my mind.

[@monicalangreder2665]

Listening to them now as I sit on my front porch in Edwardsville Illinois

[@alifetime360]

I heard the three "hoos" repeatedly this morning & thought it was an owl at first, but this is El Paso, TX & it was morning - I figured it really wasn't an owl. Thank you for posting this because the rhythmic hoo is exactly what I heard.

[@spaghetty_]

Yo El Paso! I visit El Paso every summer and it's always good to hear this bird. I live in Tokyo and there are rarely any birds here

[@dianemayle1291]

i love the doves, i feed them on my patio they come in the morning and evening they give me peace, God's Precious gifts 🙏❤

[@cathyballard2565]

The first time these doves appeared was over two decades ago, the day after some very heartfelt praying. Sobing as I finished, I asked God for a sign of hope, and said aloud, "You know me God, it has to be something obvious, like a dove." The next day I discovered a pair of mourning doves nesting in the planter outside the kitchen window. We now have several nesting sites between the front and back porches. Last year our little yard in Huntington Beach, CA produced 16 new doves.

[@mvj1153]

I love that sound. It's not sad to me, It's peaceful when alone and reading a book or something.

[@katherinemitchell2690]

We love the Morning Doves. It's so comforting to hear them coo and watch their babies learn coo too.

[@youtuber3328]

it's nice 2 meet u thx 4 ur honesty + pls read my comment

[@Spectre11B]

I sit in my backyard, while feeding them seeds only a few feet away. They all stopped and looked at me when i played this. Some even started cooing themselves.

[@48buster48]

Sound #1 is exactly what I’ve been hearing for the last half hour. I’m surprised how loud it is. Thank you for this helpful video. Hanover NH April 10, 2022

[@Austruck5561]

We hear all of these sounds at our house (just northwest of Pittsburgh). We live in an old Victorian house with deep window sills, where the doves like to nest throughout spring and summer. We have had their offspring and then their "grandchildren" nesting here in the ten years we've lived here. Such beautiful, calm birds. (Not always very BRIGHT, but beautiful.) :)

[@angelialittle3589]

There's usually 8-10 mourning doves that come to my bird feeder. I've heard all 3 sounds. Here in Nova Scotia, Canada 🙂

[@sierrarosie]

reminds me of when i was growing up. this was the sound i'd hear in the morning getting ready for school so I thought they were called morning doves when i was younger haha! from central virginia

[@karenquick8737]

I'm hearing them now and they're calling each other. So beautiful

[@user-qy8eo2uv4s]

Thank you for the 3 sounds. I adore the mourning doves. I have mourning doves who return every year and raise young here. I love everything about them. They're one of the only birds I know who doesn't startle when I get close to the nest. They just calmly stay where they are. I don't get too close but close enough to observe them.

[@andrex8888]

I love the way these birds walk around I use to wake up early as a kid just so I could go outside and see them strut about

[@Austruck5561]

Yes! We have many of them here, and I love watching them "march" up and down the driveway, bobbing their heads.

[@debszakormos7919]

Hi Scott🤗. love the mourning dove sounds. I find it both haunting and soothing😌🙏. I'm on the top floor of my bldg, they sit and coo on the rooftop Edge above me after dawn💕

[@bruceneedham2840]

Of all the bird songs, I have always loved theirs the beest. It always makes me feel peaceful.

[@harleeydurkin6571]

I live in Pennsylvania in Philly & this morning I got out of my car & teared up when I heard them , it was so nostalgic I used to hear them all the time as a kid & haven’t heard it in over a decade

[@indigokids88]

Taking a break listening to the birds ❤❤❤

[@smkmd1961]

I actually love the sound of #1. Especially in the spring time. There is a male sitting on the fence of my neighbors deck right now making that sound. He seems like a young male. When I let my dog out, the dog eventually saw him and charged like he was going after the bird. The dog couldn't get to him though because of the deck fence. The bird flew a short distance and I heard that wing sound. I often wondered why that sound was. Now I know.

[@nickjvv]

Just heard these doves this morning they’re so pleasant to wake up to

[@saturnslipper]

Sitting here listening to a mourning dove male outside my window now....calling all lady doves. Never knew about sound # 2; will have listen for it in future. Sound # 3 is one I've heard many times since they feed on the ground in my yard. Thanks much for this video. 💜

[@californiak2891]

I love mourning doves and usually hear them in the morning. I feel like they herald spring. ;-) Sound 1 - very familiar. Sound 2 - not that I can remember. Sound 3 - don't think I've ever thought of it as wings! (Virginia)

[@suchnothing]

That's funny you mentioned you thought it was an owl. I was hearing a woooooo sound just now, and thought it sounded like a little owl. But it's the middle of the day and I'm in the middle of a massive city lol. Then I remembered there are a ton of mourning doves in my neighbourhood, and found my way here to compare their calls to the one I'm hearing outside. It's definitely a mourning dove I'm hearing!

[@criminology90]

I live in Florida and I love waking up to the sound of the dove's coo-ing. They usually wake up about 6 am. When they coo, I know what time it is. Their cooing makes me smile every time, what a beautiful sound

[@westyraviz]

What part of Florida are you? Isn’t it slightly irritable when it’s prolonged or contagious? Are you familiar with the limpkin?

[@brandonburrow1569]

I have one on my patio every day..it's so docile and friendly I can walk up to it..it responds when I immitate it's mating call..such a sweet creature here in Dallas Texas!

[@crystal79jones]

I hear the first one every morning. The noise when they take off as well. Had no idea it was their wings. I always feel bad as I don't want to scare them away. Love my Mourning Doves.

[@pamelameyer4277]

Been hearing this sound for 3 days. Thought it was an owl hooting. Today I took a pic of 2 white doves - pigeons on our front walk. Live in Portland oregon

[@elbob17]

Grew up in Ohio. I still hear them every morning, always reminds me of being at my grandparents house in the mid 1980s as a little kid.

[@ferdoshasan4954]

ITS NOT A SAD SOUND IN FACT ITS A SOOTHING SOUND THAT CREATES CALM TO THE SOUL I LOVE THEIR COOING .

[@centralnorthcarolinarailfa6596]

I hear these sounds all the time here in North Carolina

[@cattailer1077]

I have 8 pairs of mourning doves. Weirdly, I had one pair that sat on the balcony railing next to my kitchen window at three separate times in the past 5 years, one pair of doves would make sound #1 the 3 different days I had to euthanize 3 of my cats. The third time caught me off guard because at that moment I didn't realize anything was wrong. But it alarmed me, I went into my bedroom and saw that one of my cats was in distress. I immediately drove her to emergency. She passed a few hours later. I was in shock and when I got home the same 2 doves were still sitting in the same place on the railing just looking at me. It felt like they were offering their condolences. I'll never forget those 3 experiences. I have one cat now and they've been told by me that they are not allowed to let me know in advance... They are a lot of fun to watch and I spoil them with special seeds everyday, twice a day. I'm bribing them🥰

[@tinyvr7036]

We have numerous doves here but most were in the front of the property. Just this morning some moved into the rear atea near the bedroom windows. I can hear them this morning just as the sun came up in California. I thank God for His precious little gifts to us. This made my day. Thanks for sharing your video. 🙏

[@Mrstrikerace]

Beautiful beautiful sounds. I hear them outside my bedroom window every day in the crook of the downspout. Comforting and lovely.

[@coryavila01]

I'm in Los Angeles and hear these doves all the time. I love the sounds they make. Many people confuse the cooing sound to that of an owl.

[@mystermysterio5348]

Just 5am in the morning and I'm hearing these dove calls while viewing this video...👍

[@evilbanshee]

we need these birds back in our lives man... Hardly ever hear them anymore

[@DeborahLou72]

I lived in western Kansas growing up. Directly behind our house were railroad tracks, and directly behind those were two abandoned barns. We had mourning doves around us, but I grew up believing, like you, that I was hearing an owl. I now live in Central Kansas, and I learned about a year or so ago that what I was hearing was not an owl at all but a mourning dove. Several months ago I did hear an owl for the first time. It's wonderful, as is the call of the mourning dove. Thank you for this video.

[@MrMaj5757]

Oh as a kid in the 60's I heard them call every evening. It was so calming and reassuring!

[@lindabyerly428]

Love, love, love the mourning doves and their beautiful sounds! Listen all the time in northern Illinois.

[@jamesanonymous2343]

NOW I FINALLY KNOW WHO'S COO-ING OUTSIDE MY BEDROOM WINDOW ALL MORN. THE LARGE BUSHES IN BACK HIDE THEM, SO I'VE NEVER ACTUALLY SEEN ONE ?? THANK YOU BIRD ADVOCATE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@WilliamWatson1]

I hear them all of the time in my neighborhood. I love the natural sound! It's so beautiful!!!

[@hlrose71]

I'm in Monmouth, Oregon. We have a mourning dove near our house and most often I hear the first "call" at mid morning or early afternoon.

[@Charlotte-rp6qu]

Absolutely lovely!! It was my mother's favorite bird. And I think of her every time I hear one. I'm hearing them again more frequently than I did when I first moved to the town I'm living in now. But when I lived in Cypress California I used to hear them all the time. They would even come on the fence of my balcony. And yes I have heard all three sounds. Thanks again

[@ashleywilkins1165]

I LOVE my Mourning Doves that visit me when the weather gets nice!!! I’m from Beaverton, Oregon, USA 🇺🇸 Sound #1 ❤ such a happy sound! I have 6 of them that visit me at a time! ❤

[@sisterinchrist8312]

I’m in Beaverton too… I came to double check on the sounds a dove makes… at first I thought owl… until I saw one on my neighbors roof… so pretty.

[@jessiefetty3908]

Thank you I've heard all is these in Rossville Georgia/East Ridge Tennessee. My uncle and I would listen to birds and I always could go to him too see what bird was making that sound. This is one of my favorites he told me it was the lonesome cry of a dove... He passed away Jan 17, I can hear one singing right now in our backyard...I love you F U 🤠💕

[@susanoldie6353]

In the morning, here in Topock, the dove songs blend into one, filling the atmosphere with peace and gentleness.

[@RJ-jl9yf]

Song #1 fooled me. I, too, thought I was hearing an owl. Song #2 reminds me of a Native American Flute. Song #3 is easier to miss when all the birds are communicating together in the morningtime here in NC. My mom and I loved to listen and identify the birds. God created everything perfectly!

[@blu0y5t3r]

We have a couple of nesting pairs in our backyard in Concord, CA. If you really get close and pay attention, you can hear the low sound of them inhaling just before they make their calls. It’s really wonderful. They are peaceful and beautiful. They make pitiful nests, tho.🥰

[@user-vh6wq6eh9z]

They nest at my front door frequently and I wake up hearing their beutiful tunes.

[@reyjaysablan7138]

😭 I heard this when I was a kid everytime I wake up and thankfully I found it, this is really relaxing.

[@davidtraylor6924]

best way too discribe these birds is { SWEET }

I live near the St. Francis National Forest in AR. I love the spring time the Morning doves wake you up and the whipoorwhils tell you when it's time for bed.

[@HarryTheIdiot_]

hearing the call during the summer while on bike rides in my friends hit differently

[@jackiehash1296]

I have always even as a child loved the calls doves make I hear them everyday and feel so happy Reminds me of my grandma for I asked her what it was the first time I heard them live in mo ozarks

[@dylanmount7536]

Dude the calls of a mourning Dove used to be so relaxing when I used to go outside a lot more

[@breerogganbuck9283]

I live in Woodstock, IL, northern IL. One will sit on top of our fireplace and make the #1 coo sound that echoes down our fireplace. It sounds so cool. One used to sit on top of our grill & look in at me through the window above our kitchen sink. Maybe it was the reflection of the window, but it wouldn't fly away when I would do dishes. Thank you for the recording! I was able to verify it was really a dove up there.

[@Sparkette21]

I have a mourning dove nesting on my back porch. They started hanging around my house shortly after my dad passed away. I find them comforting.

[@buckeyefangirl1976]

I love these beautiful doves too.❤️❤️❤️ Always have at least a pair at my feeders. They are so gentle and gracious and I love to hear them "calling". Thanks for sharing yours with us. I can sit and watch them and your videos for hours.

[@wildlyunrulyadventures3942]

Thank you for this. It was very helpful. I have tons of beautiful birds right out my office window. And I thought it was an owl! LOL Which would be unusual this deep in the city. Now I know its the beautiful doves. And it is definitely calling for a mate!! Thank you so much!

[@user-zm9zp9ib8u]

And,❣️ I've been hearing these beautiful sounds a couple of times like a week ago or two and I thought it was a owl and recently I watch a video the other day and I heard the same sound in her video because she had her window up and I looked in the comments and saw someone comment and said she loves the sound of Doves and then just now not too long ago I hear the Dove making those beautiful sounds again and my spiritual team told me to look up the sound of the Dove it gave me the meaning (spiritually) and I came across this video I love this.🙏🏾🖤💋❣️

We recently had doves make a nest on my fan underneath our canopy. Lov d watching the babies grow and be fed. Amazing nature

[@Barbarra63297]

From the time I was a toddler, Mourning Doves nested in a tall Arborvitae tree right outside my bedroom window. It was so relaxing to wake up to this gentle cooing. Wish we had them where I now live.

[@glynnorthwood1791]

This brings back wonderful memories of having two doves under the trees in our yard. Being a kid, I could hardly wait to go outside and see them every morning. I heard all three noises - lovely. I still love all birds, 50+ years later. Really enjoy this channel. Thanks.

[@perlahernandez2048]

I cry every time I hear this beautiful bird , it reminds me of the good old time of my childhood

[@leobell2459]

❤ Just yesterday I had 2 Gray Morning Doves started nesting process on my small spaced kitchen window ledge here in Knoxville, Tennessee. I am so happy for the gift.

[@korenelarkin9274]

I hear call 1 the most, outside my apartment. Brings me so much peace.

[@I.Love.Python]

I decided to set it as my alarm, and it's reminding me of the good old times😢 Nowadays I've never heard it, and I didn't realize that one day it was the last time I've ever heard this bird

[@nightwatch5313]

I live in Kentucky and I’ve always enjoyed this noise, grew up hearing these beauties and I still love hearing them from time to time. It’s a beautiful noise that reminds me of peaceful mornings and afternoons I used to enjoy

[@ashley.33]

That second call is what I hear outside when I water my sunflower. It's such a beautiful gift from God every time I hear it! 😊🩵

[@britanyw9205]

I hear sound #1 all the time, and its my favorite.

[@JF-xq6fr]

I feed dozens of Doves in my backyard, and while on my window ledge you will hear them make a singe "WHO" sound as a warning to other Doves. I'm in NW PA and many of the ones I feed will sit on the same ledge and let me stand there and 'talk' to them, and almost all of them will let me hang out the window and talk to them as they casually without any fear, roam around looking for seeds I toss to them (millet and sunflower hearts/chips) It's amazing they trust me as much as they do, and the reason I talk to them is to calm them, and let them know it's just me. Some will even fly up to a perching stick near the window after they see and hear me. They are very intelligent, and also very aggressive... They will snap their wings and strike each other if too close on the feeding ledge. I am so lucky to have them around. Thanks for the nice video.

[@vessaj4482]

I played this video while on the patio this morning and received an answering call. 😊

[@jennysvids]

We hear these every morning! I always thought they were owls, LOL.

[@jennysvids]

We live in NE CT

[@crossface222]

We had morning doves as pets growing up and in the neighborhood I live in we have a ton of them. She kept saying it was an owl and I told her it was doves. She didn’t believe me until I shook a pine tree that the sound was coming from and a dove flew out lol. I had them in my kitchen. I know the sound.

[@impactframes6514]

Ihink these just claimed the spot of my favorite bird! I hear them all the time (I live in central Maryland) and thought that they were owls too! And I thought they were pigeons for the longest time when I’d see them! They seem like such calm, lovely birds 🥰 Thanks for the video!

[@sltsunshine15]

We hear these birds usually in the spring and summer. They just recently started chirping again and I am so happy I found your video to tell me what they are. It’s interesting that they make noise at night. We live in Anaheim California in a residential area. Thanks for the video!

[@DonGuyBBQ]

Leesburg VA - we have a pair that nest outside our kitchen window for many years now. We hear all the sounds in this video every day. Thanks for sharing!

[@WildWxlf]

This call makes me remember laying on the trampoline, looking up at all the trees while my parents and neighbors cooked a barbecue.

[@shaboopie12]

Two of them visited me this morning while doing homework. They are very calm birds and make good company. Glad to see them around my neighborhood in RI.
