I used to be confused about what this was. It&rsquo;s not a turtle dove. It&rsquo;s a red-eyed dove - cunningly named after a feature that&rsquo;s really difficult to spot with the naked eye. The easier way to tell is that they&rsquo;re <em>much</em> larger than the Cape Turtle Dove, which is really quite a little thing. The Red-Eyed Dove is almost pigeon sized. It also has a pinky shade to its head and breast while the turtle dove is&hellip; dove-grey. They really are lovely, gentle things. Even if they&rsquo;re not exactly geniuses.</p>
