Peaceful Dove

This article is a stub. Please help by sharing your knowledge.


The Peaceful Dove lives in Australia and New Guinea. In Australia, its range is reducing due to nesting sight competition with the Spotted Turtle Dove, an introduced species.

Peaceful doves are closely related to the Zebra Dove and the Barred Dove. Infact, all three were once considered to be the same species.
