I'm a huge lover of doves, so I thought more dove decor, representing a wider variety of species, would be really neat. I mostly included African species, but threw a few others in, too.


DUSKY TURTLE DOVE



ADAMAWA TURTLE DOVE - The Adamawa turtle dove (Streptopelia hypopyrrha) is a species of bird in the pigeon and dove family Columbidae. It is also known as the pink-bellied turtle dove. The species is closely related to and has been considered the same species as the dusky turtle dove. The species has a disjunct distribution, being native to Cameroon Nigeria and south-west Chad, and further west in Gambia, Senegal and Mali. It has also been reported defending a territory in Togo, suggesting a population may exist there too.



ORIENTAL TURTLE DOVE



SUNDA COLLARED DOVE - The Sunda collared dove (Streptopelia bitorquata), sometimes referred to as the island collared dove, Javanese collared dove, or Indonesian collared dove, is a species of bird in the family Columbidae. Sometimes confused with the Eurasian collared dove (Streptopelia decaocto) which is very similar in appearance, the Sunda collared dove is a small to medium-sized bird, native to the tropical and subtropical islands of Indonesia. This species distribution occurs from Java and Bali, through to Komodo, Lombok, Sumbawa, Timor and Flores, Solor and, the Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical mangrove forest. The Sunda collared dove is a small to medium-sized bird which has a light, rosy hue around the neck and chest area, fading into the underside of the bird consists of a light caramel color, into a shade of cream at the base (start) of the tail. The start of the wings have a light grey tone, protruding to a steely grey hue near the end of the wing, all the way to the tip of the tail. The tail feathers under the bird are a 'eggshell' white, color.



EURASIAN COLLARED DOVE



AFRICAN COLLARED DOVE



MOURNING COLLARED DOVE



RED-EYED DOVE



RING-NECKED DOVE



VINACEOUS DOVE - The vinaceous dove (Streptopelia vinacea) is a bird species, widely resident across the Sahel and Sudan (region). This species is abundant in scrub and savannah. It builds a stick nest in a tree, often an acacia, and lays two white eggs. Its flight is quick, with the regular beats and an occasional sharp flick of the wings which are characteristic of pigeons in general.
