The dove is the symbol of peace throughout the world with its immaculate white plumage. The dove is a small white bird, from the pigeon family, which measures between 25 and 33 cm.

In France, the Turkish dove ( Streptopelia decaocto) is a sedentary bird, which likes to nest in our gardens. Doves and doves have the same proportions of size and weight, their beaks have wax at the base, they have long rounded wings and the thumbs of their legs point backwards.
