Doves

Well my 3rd bird shot to be posted.
We were leaving the house when I forgot my cellphone, as I walked into the kitchen I saw these two doves on our deck and they were snuggling up. Unfortunately I didn't get shots of that, I had to settle with some shots like this.

This was shot through the window of our sliding door.

C&C appreciated.

As English is my 2nd language can somebody tell me the difference, if there is one, between doves and pigeons  

 

Thanks for the nice comments people.

See in Dutch, my 1st language, we don't have a different name for the rats with wings, but the funny thing is we use the rats-with-wings reference as well.

 

Thanks Frank, the built in spell check in Firefox helps a lot.

 

Thanks for the comment Dianne.

Pigeons carry a lot of diseases with them, hence the name rats not because they look ugly  

In my hometown it's know there are certain pigeons that only eat French fries with ketchup, they won 't eat them if there is no ketchup on it. Shows you what "domestication" can do to "wildlife".
