Cheeky mourning dove refuses to back down

They seem so sweet, but mourning doves can be pretty aggressive!

What I always find funny about mourning doves being aggressive is they never seem to

[@paulineb66]

I love how aggressive this dove is but then sits there with its big soulful eyes looking so innocent.

Everyone else: Doves, symbols of peace, kind and gentle creatures...

It's called a mourning dove, cause "your parents will be mourning after he's done with you"

wow, he was really willing to fight every bird that showed up

[@Human-163]

A thing I've noticed from my own experience and this videos is that doves spend a lot of time guarding the food instead of eating it. At times they can just be guarding for 15 minutes or more with no one around. They sure are really selfish...

These birds are so cute... but apparently, they can be pretty dangerous, too!

MOURNING DOVE used WING SLAP. It's super effective!

I love all animals but man I have a special place in my heart for birds ❤❤❤

[@jamesmartin9401]

I put my bird seeds on a stump as well. They seem to enjoy that.
