Dovekie — size comparison — facts and sources

The dovekie feeds in flocks at sea and nests in rocky scree crevices. Underwater it uses its wings for propulsion and gathers small crustaceans, particularly copepods.

It carries chick food in a specialised throat pouch. Both parents incubate and rear the young, and pairs often reunite with the previous season’s partner.
