Streptopelia decaocto

Global Range: RESIDENT: western Palearctic from British Isles, southern Scandinavia, and western Russia south to southern Europe, Egypt, and southern Asia east to Burma and Ceylon; European populations result from relatively recent expansion and may have originated from introductions. Introduced and established in Bahamas (New Providence) and has spread from there to other northern islands in Bahamas (Grand Bahama, Abaco, Bimini, Eleuthera, Andros) and southern Florida; now common to abundant from Tampa and Palm Beach south to Key West; recently recorded north to North Carolina and South Carolina and west to Alabama. Also introduced in Japan. See AOU (1989) and Sibley and Monroe (1990).

Comments: Open woodland to scrub and desert, and around human habitation (AOU 1989).

Non-Migrant: Yes. At least some populations of this species do not make significant seasonal migrations. Juvenile dispersal is not considered a migration.

Locally Migrant: No. No populations of this species make local extended movements (generally less than 200 km) at particular times of the year (e.g., to breeding or wintering grounds, to hibernation sites).

Locally Migrant: No. No populations of this species make annual migrations of over 200 km.

Maximum longevity: 17.9 years (captivity) Observations: In captivity, these animals can live up to 17.9 years (Flower 1938). In the wild, record longevity is 17.8 years (http://www.euring.org/data_and_codes/longevity.htm). Like in other doves, the breeding patterns of these animals depend on geographic region with animals in warmer climates being able to breed throughout the year (http://bna.birds.cornell.edu/).
