Is it true that you can not kill a dove because the word love written on the wing of a dove?

Question

Someone told me that you are not allowed to kill doves because when they killed and if they are boiled in water that on the wing of a dove there is the word love on it's wing is this true because I was looking online to see if I could find any information for it and I couldn't. I know there is a song called on the wings of a dove he sends his love but I have never known the word love to be ensribed on it.

Answer 1

No this may be a myth???

Answer 2

Who in their right mind would boil a dove to see the word love on its wing?  I think the someone who told you this needs to seek medical help or you not be around them.  How would the word get there birds.  The song may have been talking about a messenger bird or something like that but the word does not exist on the wings of the bird.

Answer 3

no, not true.  You cannot kill a wild native dove because it is against the law..not because they have "love" written on their wing.
