More on Turtledove ...
In the summer of 2001 I had a first - feeding on spilled grain 20 yards from our garden gate I saw a mixed flock with every species of British dove: Turtledove, stock dove, rock dove, wood pigeon and collared dove.
The bird is also called the Western Turtle Dove or the American Mourning Dove or Rain Dove, and formerly was known as the Carolina Pigeon or Carolina Turtledove.
It is indeed legal to hunt certain birds such as Woodpigeon, Chukar, and Turtledoves. In specified areas. And BirdLife has no objection to this, however we may feel about it as individual who happen to be quite fond of living birds.
