Yes, always such a nice feeling when they are around. Often see the red eye and laughing together in Jeffrey's Bay area. Very nice as they aren't hostile towards each other.

Whenever I hear a Red eyed dove, I always get nostalgic memories of my childhood home back in South Africa

I agree! My grandmother gave a little rhyme to these Red-eye calls in Afrikaans - 'Klein Faan, my-voet-is-seer!'

You can't imagine how long iv'e been searching for the red-eyed dove sound. Living here in KENYA.

Thanks. The red eyed dove sounds always bring me those nostalgic memories of my home village in Malawi.

That's so interesting!

In the film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, about an hour and a 29 minutes through, you can hear a call like the red-eyed dove's, although my resources say it's exclusively an African dove. Is there a species with a similar call in New Mexico, where the film was shot in 1973? A Bird Watching HQ site mentions 7 doves/pigeons in New Mexico: mourning dove (not Streptopelia decipiens), rock dove/pigeon, Eurasian collared dove, white-winged dove, band-tailed pigeon, Inca dove, common ground dove - no red-eyed doves.
