Doves are lovely but I don't think they're very bright!

The cat was far more patient than I would have been with that racket going on!

There's lots of other bird noise in the background so maybe it's some kind of bird sanctuary type thing?  Bizarre to let a bird and cat interact like that though - the cat would clearly have a go at the bird given half a chance, but probably knows that it's not allowed while someone is watching.  If a dove tried that with Geoffrey, he'd have his head off within a few seconds!
