Why is the eurasian collared dove bad
Eurasian Collared Dove Invading The Country! Good or Bad?
sup guys Westerner here and it's just
another beautiful evening the day I got
Dexter my bird dog with me today we're
gonna talk about the Eurasian collared
those I didn't even know what they were
four years ago never even heard of it
all sudden song the paper like oh these
doves are freaking appearing out of
nowhere
[Music]
the next year I've seen one and then
ever since then I mean I've seen them
all over there everywhere I got a small
farm here and we've got bunches of them
some like really makes you wonder if
they're like extra-terrestrial spores or
something that just floated about and
now they're here and that's I did some
digging on them
turns out these things kind of
originated in the US at Florida back in
1982 and they've just spread throughout
the country there all the way up and
Canada now Canada
and freaking there are little bit bigger
than the mourning doves that we have
here natively
[Music]
they got a color around their neck
black collar that's the dead ringer and
the state of Oregon so far is like yeah
you shoot as many of them as you want
have Adam and I don't see it I mean I
kind of like them so far I mean the
jury's still out if they're actually
hurting the native population so in that
time they're like well they're not
native go ahead and shoot them so like
they're bigger
I've heard they taste great and I don't
know about you guys but if if you've
ever had that dove wrapped in bacon and
cooked in the oven nothing like it
you'll totally dub it I mean love it
so you know they're open season go elmer
fudd on them and i got some maps here
check this out they're spreading like
flies on [ __ ] i mean they're everywhere
so far studies have shown that the
native birds haven't really been
affected and it's like so you know they
may who knows someday they may become
part of the game bird species even
though they're invasive I mean what we
got we got German brown trout Hungarian
Partridge catfish chucker pheasant
all of them are invasive species mean
that they were introduced or they're not
native but they're part of the game
seasons and bag limits in the US so next
up might be the collared dove but I was
kind of excited cuz we got the mourning
doves and they calm morning when crying
it's kind of sad thing here and it does
you're out the wood for anything to go
off it's like I was hoping these colored
doves we're gonna be like something more
you know upbeat and happy but turns out
they don't have that cool of a sound
I'll try and find a clip aurilla these
guys like ted's holdover which is
another good channel if you like
watching stuff get shot man he goes
apeshit on those collar nubs with his
air rifles he's not some dead
yep okay still one sitting there yep
good you know he definitely doing his
part keeping them from taking over but I
don't know not enough apparently because
they're all over the place I mean I just
had five of them that land in my treats
a couple minutes ago that was when I was
like I get to cook them up get the bean
but no such luck I suck didn't hit my
ass with both hands that's a good boy
you see that that's a good dog take care
of thanks for watching on Western
you
[Music]
