What is a "stock dove"?
A stock dove, scientifically known as Columba oenas, is a medium-sized pigeon species found across Europe and parts of Asia. With its compact and sturdy build, it bears a resemblance to the rock dove or common pigeon but possesses distinct features. Stock doves are primarily recognized for their subtle and elegant plumage, which typically consists of soft grayish-blue feathers. They have a pale pinkish hue on their underparts, adding a touch of delicacy to their appearance. These birds are often found in woodlands, forests, and farmlands, where they nest in tree holes or rock crevices. Known for their gentle and melodic cooing calls, they create a soothing ambiance in their surroundings. Stock doves exhibit agile and swift flight, maneuvering skillfully through the air with their pointed wings.
