John 1:32 says..." I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode on him". The turtle dove played a significant sacrificial role in The Bible. It also signified the arrival of Spring. Just a few verses earlier in John 1:29, John describes seeing Jesus as "the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world". Lamb of God along with the dove is John foretelling that Jesus will be the sacrifice that atones for the sins of the world.

What is the baptist bird and John the Baptist?

John the Baptist is the man who baptized Jesus Christ in the Jordan river and who became one of his first twelve disciples. John the Baptist is also Jesus' cousin. As for the baptist bird, once Jesus became baptized, the heavens opened and The Holy Spirit came down in the form of a dove that landed on Jesus' shoulder. Then God said this is my son. --: John the Baptist was not one of the 12 disciples. The disciples were Andrew, Bartholomew / Nathanael, James, the Elder, James, the Lesser or Younger, John, Judas, Jude / Thaddeus, Matthew / Levi, Peter or Simon Peter, Philip, Simon the Zealot, Thomas. To replace Judas, God ordained Saul/Paul. The dove landed on Jesus' head, not his shoulder.
