What kind of bird is a turtle dove?

The turtle dove is a common bird, also known as the turtle dove, great turtle dove, green turtle dove, etc. Its scientific name is Streptopelia chinensis. Turtle doves have a wide distribution range, mainly in Asia, including China, Japan, India, Bangladesh and other countries.

Turtle doves are small in size, with gray-brown body feathers, gray head and neck, and obvious black and white markings, hence the name turtle dove. The male and female have basically the same appearance, but the male's head and neck are more colorful.

Turtle doves often appear in urban parks, squares, farmland and other places, and like to inhabit rice fields, grass, branches, telephone poles and other places. Their main food is plant seeds, small insects, etc., and sometimes they also eat fruits and cereals.

Turtle doves are gentle, affectionate birds that are ideal for viewing and keeping as pets. Since turtledoves need a comfortable living environment and good eating habits, they need to be provided with clean and safe cages and high-quality feed, as well as appropriate exercise and human care.
