Classification: Genus Streptopelia; Family Pigeons (Columbidae)
General: The ring-necked dove (Streptopelia capicola), also known as the Cape turtle dove or half-collared dove, is a widespread and often abundant dove species in East and southern Africa. It is a mostly sedentary bird,^[2][3] found in a variety of open habitats. Within range, its penetrating and rhythmic, three-syllabled crooning is a familiar sound at any time of the year.^[3] Its name is derived from the semi-collar of black feathers on the lower nape,^[4] a feature shared with a number of Streptopelia species. Like all doves, they depend on surface water. They congregate in large flocks at waterholes in dry regions^[2] to drink and bathe.^[5] [more]
