Spotted Dove - 珠頸斑鳩
Streptopelia chinensis
Summary 2
The spotted dove (Spilopelia chinensis) is a small and somewhat long-tailed pigeon that is a common resident breeding bird across its native range on the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. The species has been introduced into many parts of the world and feral populations have become established.
Did You Know? When disturbed, these doves immediately take flight which unfortunately makes them a risk at airfields!
