These are a pair of laughing doves that seem to be found here in Uzbekistan, but rarely show themselves.

One of them, later, is on a branch of a nearby tree…

…and started cleaning her feathers.

A little more photos and a more detailed story (in Russian) can be found here.

Laughing doves, what a nice name! These look very like our local mourning doves.

Today I Learned that doves come in comic and tragic modes.

There are about 300 types of them, so there are just enough for all currently existing theatrical genres ;)
