Over the years, I have met some big eaters.  For example, I know a fellow that ate six-foot long hotdogs in less than 15 minutes.  However, this fete does not compare with how much a mourning dove can consume.

       A biologist that obviously that was blessed with a lot of patience counted all of the grass seeds found in a mourning doves’ stomach.  Remarkably, the final tally was 17,200.  Wow!  I am impressed.
