Zebra dove

The zebra dove (Geopelia striata) is a small Southeast Asian dove distinguished by fine dark bars across its neck and body. It forages mainly on the ground and has a soft, repetitive coo.

Geopelia: Geopelia is a genus of small, ground-foraging doves native to Southeast Asia and Australasia. The zebra dove is one member of this genus of slender, barred doves.
Caged bird: A caged bird is a bird kept in an enclosure, often as a companion or for its song. Zebra doves are kept for their gentle temperament and repetitive cooing.
Granivore: A granivore is an animal that eats seeds as a major part of its diet. Zebra doves feed largely on small seeds gathered from the ground.
Barred ground dove: The barred ground dove (Geopelia striata) is an alternate English name for the zebra dove. This name highlights its ground-feeding habit and barred plumage.
Columbidae: Columbidae is the bird family containing pigeons and doves. The zebra dove belongs to this family of seed-eating birds.
Birdsong: Birdsong is vocal communication produced by birds, commonly in territorial or courtship contexts. The zebra dove’s repeated coo is valued in keeping and studied as a vocal signal.
Ground-foraging bird: A ground-foraging bird finds much of its food while walking or probing on the ground. This behavior lets zebra doves exploit seeds in open spaces and around settlements.
Domestic pigeon: The domestic pigeon (Columba livia domestica) is the domesticated form of the rock dove. Both are familiar urban columbids, but the zebra dove is smaller and belongs to another genus.
Peaceful dove: The peaceful dove (Geopelia placida) is an Australasian dove with fine barring and a spotted neck patch. It is a close relative with a similar barred pattern, but a different native range.
Introduced species: An introduced species is an organism transported by humans beyond its native range. Captive-bird releases and transport have established zebra doves in places such as Hawaii.
