FIL: Isang uri ng ibon na karaniwang kulay abo o puti, kilala sa ugali nitong mamirmihan sa mga lungsod at bilang simbolo ng kapayapaan.
EN: dove, pigeon
The official bird of Plaza Miranda and every public park in the Philippines. They're the OG 'tambay.' They're cute symbols of peace and love in weddings, but in the city, they're the ones who'll judge you while you eat your fishball and might just swoop in for a piece. Also, a term of endearment, 'kalapati ko,' for someone you love.
From Sanskrit 'kapota' (कपोत), meaning pigeon or dove.
'Kalapati' is the general term for both 'pigeon' and 'dove', although 'batubato' is sometimes used for the wild rock dove/pigeon.
