The laughing dove is named for its distinct, soft, rolling call, which resembles a gentle "coo-coo-coo" sound, often heard early in the morning or at dusk. Its melodious call and calm nature have made it a favorite among birdwatchers.
Physically, laughing doves are small to medium-sized, with a slender build and a long tail. They’re recognized for their beautiful pinkish-brown plumage with subtle blue-gray shading on their wings. One unique feature is the black-spotted patch on their neck, which adds to their charm.
In terms of diet, laughing doves primarily eat seeds, grains, and small invertebrates. They are ground feeders, often seen foraging in open areas and scratching the earth for food. During the breeding season, which varies based on region, laughing doves form monogamous pairs. Both the male and female share responsibilities, from building the nest to incubating the eggs and feeding the chicks.
Their adaptability is remarkable; they thrive in both natural and urban environments. This flexibility has allowed them to spread and establish themselves in areas where other dove species might not survive as well. Laughing Dove Habitat Guide: Where to Find and Watch These Birds
