What this page adds
The Stock Dove is a medium-sized, plain grey pigeon with a pinkish-grey breast and an iridescent green-purple patch on its neck. It lacks the distinctive white neck patch and white wing bars found on other common doves, making it visually distinct.
Stock Doves often use old rabbit burrows for nesting, especially when tree holes are scarce!
They sometimes gather in large flocks, forming groups of hundreds during winter!
Unlike other common pigeons, this dove never has any white markings on its body!
