Opinion and other odd musings Can you name this pigeon? Date: May 22, 2008Author: Courage to Tremble 3 Comments This morning, my camera’s zoom lens caught this bird that we’ve agreed is a pigeon. A more accurate name anyone? more photos of this bird Share this:TwitterFacebookLike this:Like Loading...
Since you have already ‘spotted’the Spotted Turtle Dove,you must now look for a Partridge in a Pear Tree (remember the song “The Twelve Days of Christmas”) This time you must get both the bird AND the tree right! Reply
No, it’s not a cape pigeon. But I googled “pigeon spotted neck” and found that the pigeon is called Spotted Neck Pigeon or Spotted Turtle Dove (Streptopelia chinensis) To see a proper picture of the bird: http://www.pbase.com/jkhw73/image/31205884 http://www.birdsinbackyards.net/finder/display.cfm?id=41 Reply
