Doves
These are stout-bodied birds with small necks and short beaks. Some species feature fleshy bills. They primarily feed on seeds, fruits, and plants. The family occurs worldwide, but the amplest variety is in the mainland & southeastern Asia and Australasia.
Doves and pigeons build very flimsy nests. *insert nest falling down gif* They often use sticks and other debris placed on branches of trees, ledges, or the ground (depending on species). They lay one or two white eggs at a time, and both parents care for the young. Unfledged baby doves and pigeons are called squabs. These chicks are called "squeakers" because of their high squeaking chirps.
