ESPECIALLY pigeons and ESPECIALLY what appears to be some kind of turtle dove. That is infinitely cute, oh my gosh it's so squishy

it was outside my window lol

Aw man, I don't get very many doves where I live :c Mostly little birds and parrots. The occasional bronzewing pigeon though.

do you live in the outback? i live on a farm inland and we get these birds a LOT

Yeah, in bushland. I've figured the bird is a laughing turtle dove, but where I am (SA) we generally only get the spotted turtle doves (more in the 'burbs). Those laughing ones look so cute though, I'm jealous ;-;

i dont think its a laughing turtle dove, its fatter than that.

In your picture, the pidge is fluffed up and sitting down maybe even cooing, making it look fatter. When they're standing and on the move, they look skinnier. There are only two kinds of turtle dove (or at least the genus I'm thinking of) in Australia, and that pidge doesn't have spots so It's definitely a laughing. Also, all the other patterns seem to match. I think it is a laughing turtle dove

whoa, you seem to know about birds a lot lol

Birds are good. I go out and catch birds (for environment recording) each weekend and I read bird books in my spare time. I also read bird Wikipedia pages when I'm bored. But I'm not half as bad as my friend, she knows 200 scientific bird names off by heart.

wow, i just look at bird pictures on the internet lol

Fair enough. We call her the "CBL" (crazy bird lady) and her and I are called "the bird nerds".
