They also have unique calls of their own.
Strangely enough, their mating calls have a similarity to those that owls use. Scientists differentiate them using a grating sound that doves make before making a call. Other calls that doves use include one that signals a mate to a possible nesting site, as well as a call warning them of danger nearby. The wings of a mourning dove also make a unique whistling sound while flying that humans have difficulty hearing.

Their feathers may also change color depending on the environment.
This actually surprised scientists, as they hadn’t thought it was possible for feathers to change color as quickly as mourning doves do. Studies from 2010, however, show that their feathers adjust their arrangement at the microscopic level, in response to changes in the moisture of the air. This allows the dove’s body to adjust the brightness of its feathers as needed.

Rain doves have a distinctive appearance.
First, they have round heads, with broad and elliptical wings. They also have long and tapered tails, from which their scientific name comes. Specifically, macroura, derived from the Greek words for large and tail. The rain dove’s feet have a typical arrangement for perching, with three toes forward and one reversed. They also have short legs, usually with red coloring. Finally, they have short beaks with a dark color ranging from brown to black.

The mourning dove has several other names.
There’s the American mourning dove, as well as the rain dove. Colloquially, they’re also known as the turtle dove, though, they aren’t actually turtle doves. Once, they also had the names of Carolina pigeon and Carolina turtledove.
