The Engineer shooing away a dove.

Doves appear in all Valve-made maps, with the exception of Arena maps, Target and Item Test.

There are two types of doves, perched and flying. The perched doves do not move, blink, or fly; they remain perfectly stationary. When a perched dove is attacked or touched by a player, it will explode. The explosion causes no damage or knockback. Doves that have exploded will re-appear at the beginning of a new round. Flying doves appear when a player is killed, appearing to come from the corpse or gibs.

There are 78 perched doves in total.

As of Friday, June 17, 2011, the Team Fortress website has been updated with pictures of doves and dove droppings across the top of the main page. Additionally, upon clicking on one of the three doves "perched" at the top of the page, you are taken to three different pictures, each with different connotations to the Medic: a dilapidated hospital, a waiting room, and a doctor's office, respectively.

Locations

See Dove locations for a listing of all dove sightings.
