I took this photo while walking the dog. This bird which i have never seen before let me get to about 10 feet. It still did not move....i didn't want to make it. anyone know what kind of bird it is...almost looks like an albino pigeon. its a cell phone picture....so i can understand if the quality is not there. cool experience none the less.

Looks like a white dove or pigeon.

:hmm: Looks like a dove, most likly domesticated. Sometimes they release the white ones at weddings and other festivities.

Dove, and I believe they are the Turtle doves we hear mentioned around Christmas. The same bird that carried an olive branch to Noah. Never have seen one in the wild, so it probably is an escaped domestic bird. Probably why he let you get so close. Bill

Thanks guys...i have never seen one before in the wild. if it was domesticated, i bet i could have stuck my finger out and he'd sit on it!

Depends on the size as to whether pigeon or dove. If it was the size of a Mourning Dove, then it was a dove.
Looks to me to be a young pigeon , newly fledged to the world.Mature pigeons don't usually sit in trees like that, young birds will.
I've been raising them off and on for 43 years.

The second pic belongs in a religious or otherwise inspirational calendar.
