People throw food waste from the kitchen, so their numbers were significant. This dove sometimes takes winged termite 28. A study on this dove in Hawaiian Islands noted 55 species of plants, 07 species of animals, both 77% of grits and seeds, and 23% fruits in their gizzard 27. In residential areas, doves take cat and dog food from outdoor pet dishes. The food habit of this dove is mainly plants and sometimes they take few animals 5. About 90 percent of the kitchen waste is plant-based 32 in northern China to attract the spotted doves. China’s kitchen waste recycling system is not perfect, so this is rich source of food for spotted doves 7.

Many squabs fall from the trees during fledging, and street dogs, cats, and mongooses catch them for their food. In Australia, the predator of dove is Nankeen kestrel (Falco cenchroides) 22. Predation of adults, juveniles, nestlings, and eggs by mongooses (Herpestesjavanicus) is commonplace in Hawaiian Islands; other predators include roof rats (Rattus rattus) and common myna (Acridotheres tristis) 27. House crow (Corvus splendens), Indian treepie (Dendrocittavagabunda), and peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) are the major avian predators for pigeons in Bangladesh 18.

They make nest near human habitation (adjacent trees, side of pond, creeks of building, under roof, etc.). Most of the time, doves cannot settle their nest for human activities in urban and rural areas. Fifty percent of nesting success for the spotted dove was also reported in earlier works 30. For every attempt at breeding, the pair laid two eggs (Kumar, 1981)21 or rarely three 2.25reported that young left the nest three weeks after hatching when under captive breeding. Nidification parameters include the number of eggs, egg-laying frequency, incubation period, and hatching were similar in captivity 23.Male appears to take lead in selecting nest site 12. Their nest is usually simple and consists of only dozens of twigs 33. It has three moulting stages―pre-juvenile moult (30-35 days), prebasic moult (60-70 days), definitive prebasic moult (variable timing, sexes indistinguishable by plumage) 9. In cities birds have fewer predators than the wild 34. This dove could breed throughout the year212413.

Population trends in California probably are affected by landscape changes with increasing urbanization and loss of agricultural and natural habitats. However, increasing human density in expanding urban regions and cumulative loss of open space and old trees may be factors in the doves’ decline. The same statement is applicable in the case of Bangladesh. There is a correlation between local spotted dove declines and increasing populations of the American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) and eastern fox squirrels 9. In Bangladesh, house crow (Corvus splendens) is major avian pest for pigeons and doves. Subspecies tigrina trapped or shot for food in northern

Thailand without decrease in population 6, but in Bangladesh some tribal people are culturally habituated to hunt this dove for their meat consumption 20. The overall issue of management of nonnative nongame bird species (Streptopelia doves, waterfowl, various parrots, Euplectes bishops, and Lonchura mannikins) in California has not formally addressed 8. Since in Bangladesh, there is no hunting season to hunt animals nationally. Spotted dove remains abundant in much of the greater Los Angeles urban area 9. As a common bird in many cities in China, the spotted dove’s feeding choice may determine its dominant position in the urban ecosystem. The same abundance of spotted dove in most rural and urban areas of Bangladesh is comparable with this quote. Birds have more nesting sites and less predator in cities 31, and food is relatively more abundant in urban areas. Birdseed vendors are available at the seaside and parks 26. This study is agreed with this statement as a whole.
