The main difference is that these collared doves have that black collar on the back of their necks.

I haven't seen them being aggressive, and people from where they come from say they are gentle.

I love that brown and the grays that distinctly say 'dove'.<br /><br />But these gentle easy moving birds have the respect of every bird and even the squirrels that come to the feeder. While the others are challenging and chasing away the competition steadily, not a one will challenge the dove. <br /><br />I know that this unassuming bird can deliver a firm and disorienting knock to the skull of any critter that messes with it. Perhaps its reputation for peace comes from the fact that it can be a formidable enemy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01254513363963100560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-31275898496739336112012-02-05T06:57:09.038-06:002012-02-05T06:57:09.038-06:00I have a pair of collared doves that visit my gard...I have a pair of collared doves that visit my garden on a regular basis...i don't know if they are a specific 'type' of collared dove...I didn't even know there were different types of collared dove.
