SPECIES INFORMATION - RINGNECK DOVE - WHITE MUTATION

Description:

The White Dove is often thought of as a separate species but it is actually perhaps the most common color mutation of the Ringneck Dove (Streptopelia risoria). This bird is often confused with the domestic white homing pigeon which is used to release at special occasions (weddings, anniversaries, etc.). This bird does not have the homing instinct and should not be released.


Other Names:

Sacred Dove, Java Dove
