On the Second day of Christmas my true love sent to me

Two Turtle Doves

These aren’t typical Turtle Doves, these are criminal Doves who are serving time behind bars. You have 24 hours to find and break these Doves out of jail.

• Whoever frees a Turtle Doves wins a prize.
• The competition ends at 23:59 tonight. 

(Simply put, spawn jails, find the Turtle Doves and set them free!)

Are these turtle doves only available in North Pole or scattered all over the cities?

Scattered all over the cities :)

Do you have to be the one to spawn the jail to "find" and break out the turtle doves?

No Sal, you just have to be the one to bust them. 

I'd imagine the best way to think of it is just like the existing "jailbreaking a free bodyguard", except the 'doves' are a little easier to spot (apparently, none have been busted yet so we've yet to see) and they provide a prize of a new perk (unknown as of yet) instead of a bg. I'm guessing, but I'd also imagine they'll be a little more common than the free bg busts. 

Are timers turned off for this comp or is my phone just fucked?

Shouldn't be turned off and nothing turned off this end Hermione.

Is this the credits timers or the beta timers? And any issues other than them being 'turned off'? 

I did have that happen for a moment the other day on my lappy (and clicking on 'get timers' brought me to a page saying I'd 28 days left, yet still no timers showing) prior to any of the 12 days shenanigans. A quick Ctrl+F5 refresh cleared it right up for me. I'd imagine it was a page load as a change was being made (enkindle was lurking around) or possibly just a bad page load on my end. 

What does a dove look like? I don't know if any of us will ever be lucky enough to see these mythical doves. They're very rare and special.

*Just then, a beam of light shines down from the heavens landing perfectly on a single elegant SplinterDove*

I saw the splinter dove profile a while back i searched dove lol but its never in jail are you sure thats the one?

starting to believe there is no dove..

*I must believe in santa, * I must believe in santa *..

Hahahaha I thought the exact same thing!!!! someone said the doves are all appearing in new york? has ANYONE seen a dove?

No doves seen here.

There have been doves. I've not seen one, but I've seen multiple people get one.

They're exceedingly rare. Just keep trying :)

I'd like to confirm that the (Teenage Mutant Ninja) turtle doves were real.

The one I found was a little chewy, but perhaps I just didn't marinade it long enough.
