Question
Is it possible that a ring neck pigeon or dove would have attacked 3 young small birds that haven't left the nest yet? Could that bird eat or kill the other birds?    thanks

Answer
A little vague on details, but I will give it a shot!  Domestic pigeon males do occasionally enter other pigeon nests and harrass the babies to death.  I don't claim to be an expert on doves.  And I seriously doubt any pigeon type bird would kill another species.  They certainly do not eat meat of any kind.
