They're Ring Neck Doves, Chinese Ring neck Doves or as around here, called rats with feathers

Ringneck Dove = Streptopelia capicola

Because of this designation, these species may be hunted year-round. No
license or Habitat Stamp is required to hunt invasive species, however
hunters must have and carry with them a hunter education card.
Hunters may harvest any number of each of these species and by any
method of take approved for big- or small-game hunting. These species may be taken at night with the use of artificial light and night vision
equipment.
Commercial hunting of invasive species is prohibited, as is receiving or
attempting to receive compensation by hunting these species.
Eurasian collared-doves must remain fully feathered while in the field
or during transport, except when counted as part of the mourning or
white-winged dove bag and possession limit during the dove season that
runs from Sept. 1-Nov. 9.

Looks like minion number one will be in the first available Hunters Ed class. Year round practice is good for them, especially when on our property.

Now gotta start search for youth sized shotguns.

Mossberg 500 Ute in 20ga. If you can get a mossberg cheap i have a youth stock if you don't mind camo.

Solar Panels installed on my roof. Next day they took up residence. One call to solar city, and they are having a feathered rat abatement company come out and put cages around the sides of the panels to keep them from nesting up there. Free.

Hope this isn't one of those 911 swat pranks, again.

Mail box is safe but open the package upside down.
