Question Spotted Dove (Streptopelia chinensis tigrina).

A few days ago, I noticed Spotted Doves in my neighbourhood. I believe these doves are quite shy animals. One day, I noticed one sitting in my window and stayed there for the entire day. During the night, come in through my window gap (the gap between the safety net and the window) and sit there. I also discovered it resting on the stairs of my building yesterday.

My question is -

  1. Are they shy animals? They do not flee or become terrified when confronted. I never touched them.
  2. How do I know if they are hurt or in need of help?
