African Collared-Dove

4 sections

The African Collared Dove is a medium-sized bird introduced to Australia, measuring approximately 28–33 cm in length. It is easily recognised by its creamy-buff plumage and the black half-collar on its hindneck. Small populations of this dove occasionally establish themselves in urban areas, adding diversity to local birdlife.
