| description = The '''Turtle Dove''' (''Streptopelia turtur'') is a member of the bird family Columbidae, which includes the doves and pigeons.<br />
<br />
It is a migratory species with a western [[w:Palearctic|Palearctic]] range, including Turkey and north Africa, though it is rare in northern Scandinavia and Russia; it winters in southern Africa. <br />
<br />
In the British Isles, France, and elsewhere in northwestern Europe it is in severe population decline. This is partly because changed farming practices mean that the weed seeds and shoots on which it feeds, are scarcer, and partly due to shooting of birds on migration in Mediterranean countries.<br />
<br />
Smaller and slighter in build than other doves, the Turtle Dove may be recognized by its browner color, and the black and white striped patch on the side of its neck, but it is its tail that catches the eye when it flies from the observer; it is wedge shaped, with a dark center and white borders and tips. When viewed from below this pattern, owing to the white under tail coverts obscuring the dark bases, is a blackish chevron on a white ground. This is noticeable when the bird stoops to drink, raising its spread tail. <br />
<br />
The mature bird has the head, neck, flanks, and rump blue grey, and the wings cinnamon, mottled with black. The abdomen and under tail coverts are white. The bill is black, the legs and eyerims are red. The black and white patch on the side of the neck is absent in the browner and duller juvenile bird, which also has the legs brown.<br />
<br />
The Turtle Dove, one of the latest migrants, rarely appears in Northern Europe before the end of April, returning south again in September.<br />
<br />
It is a bird of open rather than dense woodlands, and frequently feeds on the ground. It will occasionally nest in large gardens, but is usually extremely timid, probably due to the heavy hunting pressure it faces on migration. The flight is often described as arrowy, but is not remarkably swift.<br />

<br />
The '''Turtle Dove''' (''Streptopelia turtur'') is a member of the [[Aves|bird]] family [[Columbidae]], which includes the [[dove]]s and pigeons.<br />
<br />
It is a [[bird migration|migratory]] species with a western [[Palearctic]] range, including [[Turkey]] and north [[Africa]], though it is rare in northern [[Scandinavia]] and [[Russia]]; it winters in southern [[Africa]]. <br />
<br />
In the [[British Isles]], [[France]], and elsewhere in northwestern [[Europe]] it is in severe population decline. This is partly because changed farming practices mean that the weed seeds and shoots on which it feeds, especially [[Fumitory]], are scarcer, and partly due to shooting of birds on migration in [[Mediterranean]] countries.<br />
<br />
Smaller and slighter in build than other doves, the Turtle Dove may be recognised by its browner colour, and the black and white striped patch on the side of its neck, but it is its tail that catches the eye when it flies from the observer; it is wedge shaped, with a dark centre and white borders and tips. When viewed from below this pattern, owing to the white under tail coverts obscuring the dark bases, is a blackish chevron on a white ground. This is noticeable when the bird stoops to drink, raising its spread tail. <br />
<br />
The mature bird has the head, neck, flanks, and rump blue grey, and the wings cinnamon, mottled with black. The breast is vinaceous, the abdomen and under tail coverts are white. The bill is black, the legs and eyerims are red. The black and white patch on the side of the neck is absent in the browner and duller juvenile bird, which also has the legs brown.<br />
<br />
The Turtle Dove, one of the latest migrants, rarely appears in Northern Europe before the end of April, returning south again in September.<br />
<br />
It is a bird of open rather than dense woodlands, and frequently feeds on the ground. It will occasionally nest in large gardens, but is usually extremely timid, probably due to the heavy hunting pressure it faces on migration. The flight is often described as arrowy, but is not remarkably swift.<br />
<br />
The nuptial flight, high and circling, is rather like that of the [[Wood Pigeon]], but the undulations are less decided; it is accompanied by the whipcrack of the downward flicked wings. The arrival in spring is heralded by its [[purr]]ing song, a rather deep, vibrating “turrr, turrr”, from which the bird's name is derived.<br />
<br />
The nest is even more flimsy looking than that of the [[Wood Pigeon]], being built of more slender twigs, usually at no great height, in a tree or old untrimmed hedge. The two white [[Egg (biology)|egg]]s are laid late in May or in June, often with a second clutch in July or August.<br />
<br />
A few other doves in the same genus are also called turtle doves:<br />
* the [[Asia]]n [[Oriental Turtle Dove]] ''S. orientalis'' and [[Spotted Turtle Dove]] ''S. chinensis''. <br />
* the [[Africa]]n [[Dusky Turtle Dove]] ''S. lugens'' and [[Laughing Dove]] ''S. senegalensis''. <br />
''S. senegalensis'' and ''S. chinensis'' have been introduced into [[Australia]].<br />
<br />
A [[New World]] dove of similar appearance and behavior to that of the Turtle Dove is the [[Mourning Dove]].<br />
<br />
==Biblical references==<br />
<br />
Turtle doves are mentioned in the [[Bible]], and their migratory habits had clearly been noted: <br />
:"Even the stork in the heavens knows its times; and the turtledove, swallow, and crane observe the time of their coming" ([[Book of Jeremiah|Jeremiah]] 8:7).<br />
:"For now the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land" ([[Song of Songs]] 2:11-12). Based on this passage a Jewish theological text has based its title '[[Kol HaTor]]', or The Voice of the Turtledove.<br />
<br />
However, although the same [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] word is used to describe them, the doves allowed to be used in sacrifices (cf. [[Leviticus]], e.g. 1:14; [[Gospel of Luke|Luke]] 2:24) were presumably not Turtle Doves, but the domesticated [[Rock Dove]]s.<br />
<br />
Perhaps because of these biblical references (especially the well known verse from the Song of Songs, which is essentially a love poem), but also because of its mournful voice and the fact that it forms strong [[pair bond]]s, the Turtle Dove features in a number of [[folk song]]s about love and loss. One of these is well known in a setting by [[Ralph Vaughan Williams]].<br />
<br />
==Other cultural references==<br />
Turtle Doves feature in the song "[[Twelve Days of Christmas]]", as the gift "my true love gives to me" on the second day of Christmas.<br />
<br />
==References==<br />
* {{IUCN2006|assessors=BirdLife International|year=2004|id=48733|title=Streptopelia turtur|downloaded=11 May 2006}} Database entry includes justification for why this species is of least concern<br />
