Flutter Doves is a themed starter project for new developers in Flutter to experiment with. The starter app is called "Mourning Dove Aficionados", and is a collection of characterized doves presented in a scrolling list. Of course, there's no need to keep the theme, but I find it nice when a tutorial/starter project comes with a prompt or theme to propel the learning experience.
