The two springs I spent in China Valley I encountered post-adolescent doves whose interactions with me consisted of running, hiding, or freezing in an effort to disappear. I don't know this but it seems that while doves are not gallinaceous birds (birds like pheasants, grouse, chickens, etc. that spend more time on the ground than in the air), they behave that way when juvenile. They are great fliers when adult but do seem to have something in common with those "land birds".
