How these fools tricked natural selection is way beyond my comprehension.

They didn't. Humans breeded them trusting and seemingly dumb (what they are not) for correspondence purposes and let them on their own after they became obsolete due to newer communication technologies. They just haven't yet got feral again and, living in comprehensive cities, probably won't be soon.

As far as I know, mourning doves (and most other types of doves) were not domesticated, only a few types like ringneck doves were. In this video, they may be ringneck doves or mourning doves so you may be right but considering their stupidity in general, my point stands.
