White winged Dove
I thought I would include a video of white winged dove. We have plenty of these birds in Texas.
Most of the white winged doves in our neck of mesquites do not migrate south for the winter here. This morning I saw a dove on the ground, umm, er, snow in the backyard. My old dog went outside. The bird didn't fly away so assumed it met its death. My dog went over to the bird to sniff it then she went about her business of checking out the rest of the yard. My dog plopped down in her favorite place to watch the world go by.
I'm watching this bird from my art studio window. I realize the bird's head is looking around. The bird obviously has spent many summer hours with my dog for the bird to know she is safe from my dog attacking. My dog doesn't have one ounce of bird dog in her and lets the birds hop around while she is outside.
The bird has flown off now.

I have doves that look like this in my yard too. They make a mournful cooing sound, usually early in the morning. They have been here many years, and the baby ones too. They like to stay in one area and don't fly away when they get to know you.
I haven't seen or heard them at all since the winter, I hope they are ok.
Your doggie is very nice and friendly.
Bunni - I hope your bird friends are ok. Our old puppy is character.
I am glad your old puppy and the white winged dove has made a pact to leave one another alone.
Love the birds Supi And I think its sweet that your "old puppy" likes birds too! My dogs will leave them alone but my cat doesn't feel the same way about them.
@Teresa - Knowing my old dog, she probably thinks she has magical bird herding ability.
@Stopsign - You will have to post up a photo of your dogs and cat someday.
Good Dog ...
@odie - Yes she is.
