If I was a Mourning Dove...

I would eat roughly 12 to 20 % of my body weight per day, or 71 calories on average.  As a human being weighing approximately 170 lbs., and using the same food/weight ratio as a Mourning Dove, I would consume between 20 to 34 lbs. of food per day.   99% of the Mourning Dove diet is seeds.   Even If I was eating chocolate fudge ice cream, I doubt I could probably swallow more than 5 lbs.
