This is because the Holy Spirit took the form of a dove when Jesus Christ was baptized:-

Mat 3:16-17 KJV And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: [v. 17] And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
