Hardly. Small birds will have far better innate predator avoidance
skills than white doves, as well as being much less conspicuous, not to
mention much less attractive as a meal!

Sad, isn't it!!
The white dove, because of its inert, gentle characteristics, has become
the de facto symbol for peace.

Err, I think you may mean "innate" rather than "inert" :-)))

Extending the analogy, it just goes to show, doesn't it, that if you are
kind and gentle and considerate, you are just swallowed up by violence .
. . . and, moreover, that people think that is ok ((((((((((

Hmm, yes, well, even kind and gentle and considerate doves, while
feeding mainly on plant material, do eat at least some invertebrates so
might not exhibit quite all those characteristics to their prey.
