The laughing dove (Kannada name - ಕಂದು ಬೆಳವ) (Spilopelia senegalensis) is a small
pigeon that is a resident breeder in
Sub-Saharan Africa, the
Middle East east to the
Indian Subcontinent. This small long-tailed dove is found in dry scrub and semi-desert habitats where pairs can often be seen feeding on the ground. A rufous and black chequered necklace gives it a distinctive pattern and is also easily distinguished from other doves by its call. Other names include palm dove and Senegal dove while in
India the name of the little brown dove is often used. It was introduced in
Western Australia and has established itself in the wild around
Perth and
Fremantle.
