I talked to a DOW officer here in Lamar who told me that there IS a season on
them so it would be good to check first.

Kathleen,
I'm told that there is open season on Eurasian-collared Doves as they are
exotics. If your town permits it, shoot them. Maybe they taste good.

Dear CoBirds,
Johnstown has now become overrun with what I believe are Eurasian
Collared Doves to the point that neighborhoods are up in arms over the
mess and noise, and are not appreciating these birds at all! One house
roof is literally covered with droppings. I have been asked to request
some guidance here on what steps they might take to encourage them to
just go away. We have had frequent visits from a pair of Great Horned
Owls who may have been nesting nearby. Do GHO's feed on doves? Anyone
here have knowledge of what attracts the doves - what are their feeding
preferences?
