Peaceful Dove differs in having less strongly barred flanks, while conversely, Barred Dove has more barring on the flanks and belly; both also have different songs.
Distribution
Native to southeast Asia in southernmost Myanmar, southern Thailand, Malaysia, Sumatra and Java.
Widely introduced in the tropics, including Hawaii, where it is abundant, the Philippines, Borneo, Tahiti, Sulawesi, the Moluccas, Saint Helena, Madagascar, the Seychelles, and Thailand to the north of its native areas. Also very popular in captivity, so escapes may appear almost anywhere worldwide.
Taxonomy
This is a monotypic species[1][2]. It was formerly considered conspecific with Peaceful Dove and Barred Dove, being split on the basis of substantial vocal differences as well as more subtle plumage differences[2].
Habitat
Mangroves, forests, hotel grounds, bush, parks; rural and urban areas.
Behaviour
Diet
Their diet consists of a wide variety of grain, weed and grass seeds; supplemented with insects.
Breeding
The males display to the female by bowing the head and spreading the tail. The platform nest is formed from leaves and grass and usually found in a bush or tree. The 1 or 2 white eggs are incubated by both adults for 13-18 days; the young fledging after 2 weeks.
