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.
