I believe the answer is:

coo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sound like doves?' is the definition.
'coo' can be an answer for 'sound' (I've seen this before). I also know that 'doves' relates to this answer.

'caught with ducks' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'ducks' becomes 'OO' (OO resembles two zeroes or 'ducks' in cricket).
'c'+'oo'='COO'

'that' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for coo that I've seen before include "Bill and I go together" , "Dove's call" , "Expression of surprise (by a dove?)" , "Dove's noise" , "Cry of doves - cry of surprise?" .)
