Parent doves feed their young "pigeon's milk" for the first few days of their lives. Pigeon's milk is regurgitated (thrown up) food from the parent.

WORKING WITH WILDLIFE: MOURNING DOVE

dfr.state.nc.us

FOOD
A dove's diet consists almost entirely of seeds from cultivated fields and weeds along fence rows.

Doves generally do not feed in areas containing heavy, densely-matted vegetation. Bare ground on which seeds are available is preferred.

Care should be taken when planting food for doves near areas where doves are hunted. Federal regulations concerning the baiting of migratory birds prohibit the shooting of doves where grains, salt, or other foods are placed (i.e. carried to an area, not grown) for the purpose of attracting birds. Any grain or grain residues resulting from normal agricultural practices or wildlife food plots may be hunted over. It is recommended that State and/or Federal wildlife officers be consulted concerning plans for dove food production and hunting.
