I don't think it's so much that doves aren't fast enough to get away from 
the cars, Sandra, I think it's more like they don't regard cars as being a 
real threat.  I don't know why, but this is the impression I get with the 
ones that hang around our house.  You can run the car right up to them, and 
they don't seem to worry about being run over or anything.  They simply move 
out of the way in thier own good time.  Of course this means that people who 
don't care enough to stop and let them get out of the way in their own good 
time hit a few of them every year, but that's life in room wildlife 101A.  
    Still you can buy a whistle for the front of the car to warn wildlife 
that you're coming.  Anyting over five miles an hour produces a whistle that 
you and I can't hear, but any animal with eardrums can.  My car, which used 
to be my grandmother's, has these on them because she used to do alot of 
driving in deer country.  It does help the deer get off the road at night 
before they get caught, and mesmirized, by the headlights.  
    These are twin whistles that fit, using those sticky adhesive pads, right 
onto the front bumper between the two front headlights.  You can buy them at 
nearly every single automotive supply store that I've ever been in.  
    So you can bell the car.  (Grin.)
                                  Bright Blessings
