Tekukur Bird

Streptopbeliaicahinsenasis Scopoli, 1768
Spotted Dove Columbidae

This medium-sized bird is easily recognized by the distinctive black-and-white spotted pattern on its nape, resembling a necklace. The Spotted Dove is often seen in gardens, parks, and open areas around residential zones. Its characteristic call, a soft “ku-ku-kurr,” is commonly heard in the early morning. This resident species is well adapted to human environments and plays an important role in maintaining the balance of urban ecosystems.
