Oriental Turtle Dove

The oriental turtle dove is mainly found in higher altitudes. It breeds up to a height of about 4000 meters above sea level and is found in open forests especially near agricultural fields. Like all pigeons and doves it lays two eggs in a nest made up of twigs. The birds in the extreme northern latitudes migrate south during winters whereas those breeding in southern latitudes are mostly residents.
