"The rose-crowned fruit dove (Ptilinopus regina) also known as pink-capped fruit dove or Swainson's fruit dove, is a medium-sized, up to 22 cm long, green fruit dove with a grey head and breast, an orange belly, whitish throat, yellow-orange iris, and greyish green bill and feet. It has a pinkish-red crown with yellow border."

Pet stores sometimes have Doves..



They can't be trained to mimic speech like parrots, but they're affectionate and make good pets.

Bricktop

White breasted dove, then...

I've never seen a dove like that Bricktop.

And unless you visit Papua New Guinea or Northern Australia, the chances are about the same as me seeing a polar bear!

That would explain why I've never seen one.
