How many Pigeons and Doves have you seen? (1 Viewer)

Yet another one of these type of threads!:-O
Ive seen 5.
1)Rock Dove (wild)
2)Feral Pigeon
3)Wood Pigeon
4)Stock Dove
5)Collared Dove
I still haven't seen turtle dove yet :-C

Same number for me but i've seen Turtle dove but not wild Rock dove.

Feral and Wild Rock Dove (Pigeon) are the same species, so I don't think they count as separate ticks?

19 for me; Still missing White-crowned and Red-billed Pigeons for ABA, as well as Ruddy Ground Dove
