تعریف و معنای "ringdove"

What is a "ringdove"?

A ringdove, also known as the Eurasian collared dove (Streptopelia decaocto), is a medium-sized bird that has become widespread across Europe, Asia, and North America. With its soft gray plumage and a distinct black half-collar marking on the back of its neck, the ringdove is easily recognizable. Its slender body, long tail, and graceful flight give it an elegant appearance in the sky. Ringdoves are adaptable and can be found in various habitats, including gardens, parks, woodlands, and urban areas. Their soft and soothing cooing calls are a familiar sound, often heard in the early morning or at sunset. These doves are primarily herbivorous, feeding on seeds, grains, and fruits. They are known for forming strong pair bonds and building nests in trees or on man-made structures.
