Make doves part of farming

[Fostik]

Add pests that randomly appear on crops, and if untreated affects crop yield, decreasing yield by 30% or adding a chance for crop to fail create additional resource like fibre, leaves or straw.

Make dove cots to have a huge area of effect, in which doves from the cots treat affected crops.
Dove cots should receive buff to it's population and meat produce when they are treating fields.

I'm not necessarily against this idea, but are there any real world examples of that?

Yes it's quite ancient stuff in farming


Building like this are just tower empty inside with nesting niches, so all dropping just fall to the ground and collected for fertilizing. Doves were harvested by accessing tower from inside.
They were not too much into pest control, more like feeding on leftovers on fields to provide meat and manure

Why not add soil nutrients while we are at it? oh and force us to water the crops or they go farrow. oh and match the growth cycle to the ingame years to be more realistic...


why do suggestions also add negatives Why not instead of suggestion making this a required feature make it a bonus maybe like if doves are planted near by farms their quality goes up matching the crops (like beehives), or the breed faster or something. I know that adding boons in haven basically makes it a "requirement" for thee tisms but I would hate the fact that I would have to farm doves just to have normal yields. I kinda would be okay with it if the pest infection rate was loooow.
