Real-world profile
Beyond the blocks,
what bird is this?
The spotted dove has a black patch dotted with white "pearls" on the back of its neck, a relatively long tail, and often forages on the ground.
It usually moves alone or in pairs and is well adapted to farmland, forest edges and residential areas. Sudden noises send it flying away quickly, while its repeated low coos are easy to recognize.
