Default OT noisy f****ing bird

I live in a very quiet place, quiet enough that nearly everyone that
visits comments on that fact, quiet enough that each year I have to
adjust to the noise in National Forest campgrounds before I can sleep
at night.

A couple months ago I started to notice a dove calling at regular
intervals. It caught my attention partly because it was a three note
call different from the one I associate with Mourning Doves. Since
then this guy has decided he likes it here and calls virtually non-
stop .... he's driving me nuts ( yeah, yeah, short drive :-). He
has taken to landing in the yard and (apparently ) eating Pomegranate
seeds under our tree, so I've had the chance to get a good look.

Turns out he is a Eurasian Collared Dove ... an invasive species.
(from Wikipedia " The song is a coo-COO-coo, repeated many times."
make that endlessly ) A second one showed up and I hoped that would
limit the love sick calling. It has,some, but not a lot. If
they would just shut up, I'd forget about them,

but,

Anyone got any fly recipes for dove feathers ? G
