This clue could be a double definition.

'bird' is the first definition.

Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dove that I've seen before include "plunged in the Grand Canyon" , "Cooing bird" , "Small pigeon" , "A peaceful bird?" , "Peaceful type" .)
