When I was a child I remember thinking the sound was that of an Owl...it is still my favorite bird call, simply for the link to the memories even when I hear them today. Then when I looked into it and discovered the spelling wasn't "morning" and the meaning, link to the rain, it just made perfect sense to me and loved it even more. I actually am going title a song "Mourning Dove."

[@nobodygnomes]

Sounds nice! Good luck with your song!

[@Duvmasta]

Nice!

[@chrisboudreau4057]

I just saw one, after thinking i heard an owl. I then looked this bird up and clicjed on the first vid i saw on their call

[@frankcostanza0]

same here!

[@vertyisprobablydead]

I saw a Mourning Dove sitting on my windowsill and I watched it make the call. It took 41 years of my life to see this after hearing them for my entire life.

This sound is just a distant memory of my childhood, man i miss being a kid now just a old washed up 20yo

[@maryannwalters8475]

I have 2 mourning doves in my eaves. They built a pretty big nest. Just love them. Ty for this amazing video.

[@Duvmasta]

A pair of mourning doves can have up to 10 squabs per year!

[@kingofthegamers2933]

I absolutely love the sound mourning doves make. Not because it sounds like they are in mourning, that would be creepy, obviously. To me, it actually just sounds really peaceful for some reason😌

[@IMLovelydove23]

I had 2 of these in my garden yesterday. They came right up to me. They was so friendly. They ate seeds. I was so happy they was comfortable.🌟☺❤

It’s “they were comfortable” not “they was comfortable”

Thank you so much for this video! I too always wondered where that beautiful sound came from in the mornings and was surprised and now look forward to it, even though it's not as often lately. My favorite bird!!!!

[@jujus5614]

wait whattt, so that’s the where that coo comes from? omg i’ve grown up not knowing what that was and i’ve always wondered

[@lisadiconti]

Me too...have always wondered. I had heard it everywhere.

[@heathert5455]

I always thought that an owl made the noise when I was little.

[@jakeallen2621]

I always thought it was a owl making the sound till I saw the bird clock on tv
And it said it was a moroning dove

[@jakeallen2621]

@@heathert5455 me too but not as a child but as a old dude till I saw it on tv on the bird clock

[@1christianGal]

Same. It’s a sound I cherish from my childhood 😊

[@tyork1540]

Live in Bay Ridge Brooklyn, NY and hear them in PM all the time but never saw them

[@devinejonez3096]

I live in Rochester NY and I'm 41 years old since I was about 5 I've been hearing dis sound over and over again till the point where I would go crazy trying to figure what damn bird or animal makes that damn noise!# after about 35 years of pulling my hair out I finally have the answer and I'm super elated.. D

[@BirdBath1]

Devine Jonez, look at bird bath

[@EmperorPigeon]

They are cute, I see them eating off the ground with pigeons, the look like miniature versions of their cousins! Adorable.

[@Robo-xk4jm]

ive been looking for this sound looking through a whole bunch of owl souds and anything that sounds like owls

[@tiredpup4128]

My dad loves this sound. Do I tried to find where it comes from so he can play it at night to sleep. He grew up in illinois. So he heard them quite a bit

[@Comrade134]

Excellent presentation. Thank you.

[@ladecapri]

Thank you so very much!! I am today years-old finding out the name of this bird. In the last year, I have tried googling on my phone. I do not know why today, I decided to look it up on the computer-lol. Funny, when I was younger, my dad taught my sibs and me how to make the sound in our hands.

[@AdventureAwaits83]

Great information on the Mourning Doves!

[@SolarianXIII]

My favorite ambience is the coo of the morning dove..

[@donovansdenofgames4573]

They are funny when they make flying sounds

[@Gamerseheuwhwbw]

I saw one in the other roof on my house, It loves me. We were best friends ❤

[@Buyutdemangbirdfarm]

Beautiful bird in morning day singing

[@cardboard.]

mourning doves are just forest pigeons, change my mind.

[@redrum41987]

Facts.

[@pettygarage]

Fancy forest pigeons**

[@hiccup7457]

it was you all along...

[@Antwon516]

Just realized it is “Mourning” dove, and not “Morning” dove 😅

[@jaidenguy8621]

I used to think that this song was a whippoorwill, I looked up the sound for some comfort, and heard it was different so I ended up here.

[@stevenscottoddballz]

I still remember when I visited my mom one day. When I was waiting for the bus to go home, I looked by the bird feeder on the front lawn & saw 2 mourning doves. Unfortunately, so did a hawk. {He got one. I just have to remember they're animals, too. They have to eat, too. He probably knew of this bird feeder, & had been waiting for the opportunity to get an easy meal.}

[@user-bu8ml7gr7w]

I was thinking they are baby pigeons, calling parents who left them after they become young adults. It has very sad calling sound to my ears. They just at you, not scared like most birds smaller bird's

[@031doolittle]

yes it is interesting ;) Thanks for sharing !

[@not_zakyt3450]

Please someone answer this question, if a baby mourning dove gets its wing feathers ripped off by a different animal, will they grow back⚠️

[@xelonnaCo]

I've seen tail feathers grow back, doves and pigeons
