Help with pest dove (bird), before I...

By the way, that video was taken from another room, while the dove was 7 - 10m away in the tree.

In the mornings, it's right outside my window, about 1.5 - 2m away...

Volume up, and enjoy what I go through almost every morning around 5 - 7am.

Thoughts?

Species? Have you ever heard a dove that sounds like this?

Dude be thankful. Those are the more pleasant ones. The type camping here sound like they are humping each-other (They aren't...its their mating call). And they have hours of endurance with that call. And the frequency is such that it goes clean through noise blocking headphones. And its just horrible....

Best part about those is watching Europeans walk around a corner & be faced with 5 of those taking off suddenly. They look like they just saw death itself. Apparently there are no loud, big, black birds in Switzerland.

ROFLMAO. Postman, you'd hate living in my house...

1 X Pigeon that stays INDOORS, no cage. Come and go as she pleases.
4 X Indian Mynahs that live in cages 70% of the day (they **** up the 2 dogs if not under supervision)

That's just inside. Outside we have, Red Eyed's and Ring Necks and other pigeons (Collectively knows as "dak kakkers" )

And yes, a family of these:

Another common species is the Red-eyed Dove; a rather large dove with a striking red eye just as its name suggests. The Red-eyed Dove is very diverse in its habitat preferences and also very noisy and annoying when you are trying to sleep in in the mornings and it wakes you with its loud call.

Lol. Fscking Red-eyed Doves.

We have so many hadidas its difficult to concentrate. One likes to perch on my antenna on my roof. That's always a sight and another two harass my daschund. but we also have barbet that seems to keep them under control. They'll be noisy as hell, but the Barbet will arrive and they'll instantly go silent.
