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.


White doves are not inert gentle and peaceful; they are aggressive and
quarrelsome among their own flock.

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 ((((((((((

No; it just goes to show that idlers who sit around doing nothing all
day except stuffing their faces on free handouts, showing off,
threatening each other, constantly trying to seduce every female within
reach including their own daughters and breeding like flies will not
live to a ripe old age. They will always be overcome by determined
active people who fend for themselves, build their own homes and make
the most of their skills and opportunities.

Just as well, since the idle irresponsible bums reproduce every 6 weeks
all year round, and without any population control, would have exhausted
society's resources long ago.

Janet.
