Yes... Dove, Pigeon, Flamingos and Penguins produce a “crop milk” (pigeons milk) due to the action of a hormone called prolactin. Both sexes produce this highly nutritious substance to feed to the young.
Crop milk bears little resemblance to mammalian milk, being a semi-solid substance somewhat like pale yellow cottage cheese.

No, only mammals produce milk and doves are birds, not mammals. Fish and snakes don't produce milk either.

No they don't. They feed their young regurgitating stomach contents that tend to look white due to stomach-chemical treatment of fish adult doves prey on.
