The ring-neck dove has been around for about one thousand years and they were brought here on ships after Columbus came to the New Land. You will find the dove in the middle of Las Angeles or in the lower part of Florida. Their habitat has to be a warm place year around so that they can stay there and not have to migrate further south.Their classroom food and habitat are dried bird seed, a cage to live in, and a few twigs to sit on. Their habitat in the wild is a little bit diffent from the classroom habitat. They can fly wherever they wish to. They have to depend on themselves to find their own food and homes.
The dove can get pregnant at six months old. The father and the mother both care for the young, feeding them and teaching them to fly. They stay with there parents unitl they are one to two months old. For their eggs to hatch they must be in in ten degrees for ten to fourteen days. The life span is anywhere from five to fifteen years old. The ring-neck dove is called that because it has a black ring around the neck.
