It is also called the Spotted Turtle Dove, Mountain Dove, Pearl-necked Dove or Lace-necked dove. They fly from the ground with an explosive flutter and will sometimes glide down to a perch. The Spotted Dove is usually found in pairs or small groups and feeds mainly on seeds, including grain, taken from the ground.
