The ones who were sitting on our window today.

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.

Lovely birds- a little similar to our collared doves.

How sweet that they came to visit you!

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

Oh, those are great.

I was puzzled how a dove could make a laughing sound (I was thinking of woodpeckers and their raucous utterances), but there are a number of YouTube videos that demonstrate their call very well. It's a nice mellow laugh, but quite hearty too.
