The Zebra Dove is a small, slender dove with fine dark barring across parts of its neck and body. Native to Southeast Asia, it has established introduced populations on islands including Hawaii. It feeds mainly on small seeds collected from the ground in open grassy areas, gardens, and roadsides. Its long tail and delicate proportions give it a different silhouette from larger doves. Quiet pairs or small groups can be easy to overlook until they begin moving.
