The African green dove is more timid and is seen hiding in high foliage. Figs are their favorite food, and their green wings are an effective camouflage when hiding in fruit trees. Breeding occurs from May to February, with males finding materials and females building nests, laying 1-2 eggs, which take about 13 days to hatch. The nests are never left unattended during the breeding season, so they are model parents.

Protect wild animals and eliminate wild meat.
