Streptopelia chinensis tigrina
Summary 3
Range 1
North India to Malaisya, Indochina, Philippines, Gr. and Lesser Sundas.
Behaviour:
Spotted Doves move around in pairs or small groups as they forage on the ground for grass seeds, grains, fallen fruits and seeds of other plants. They may however take insects occasionally and have been recorded feeding on winged termites. The flight is quick with regular beats and an occasional sharp flick of the wings. A display flight involves taking off at a steep angle with a loud clapping of the wing and then slowly gliding down with the tail spread out.
