We often forget that we are nature.
Nature is not something separate from us.
So when we say that we have lost our connection to nature, we have lost our connection to ourselves...
-Andy Goldsworthy
Doves are primarily seed eaters. They are are mostly found on the ground where they forage for seeds and grain. When they grab seeds off the ground, they are not necessarily eating them, instead they are collecting them in a muscular pouch along the esophagus called "crop" only to digest them later.
