Do doves only have one mate?

Doves are usually monogamous, meaning that they have only one mate at a time. Once they have found a partner, they may stay together for the rest of their lives. However, some doves may engage in extra-pair copulations, which means they mate with other individuals outside of their primary relationship. This behavior is more common in certain species of doves and may occur for various reasons, such as increasing genetic diversity or maximizing their chances of reproductive success.
