Spotted Dove

A common bird found in gardens, forests, and urban areas. They have a distinctive spotted pattern on their neck and a gentle cooing call. Doves feed on seeds, grains, and small invertebrates. They play a role in seed dispersal and maintaining plant diversity. Spotted Doves are known for their calm demeanor and can often be seen foraging on the ground. They build small, platform nests in trees or shrubs, where they raise their young. Conservation efforts focus on preserving urban green spaces and reducing the impact of habitat loss.
