:-D Nothing it seems is considered a pest in Florida...They have Gray-headed Swamp hens taking over area marshes. And all sorts of Parrots and other Tropical birds taking over the cities. Plus a couple other non-natives...Most are ABA countable. All are eBird countable. If the same sort of thing happens in Hawaii...They won't make it out of the airport. I don't think people in affected areas see the bigger picture. To most, Doves are Doves, and there are no Dove hunts in the suburbs. It becomes a not my problem type of thing.
