Spotted turtle doves.

Good it's settling in if I were you I'd get my hands on a copy of Danny's book, a guide to pigeons doves and quail... Absolutely the best book on the subjects ever written (and my favourite of the a guide to series)

yep! be cool to see a chocolate spotted...

Here's some I prepared earlier. According to a local carpet python they were much yummier than normal ones.

The chocolate s. t. dove here is quite different to those in the pic, the one here is cleaner in colour and is a lighter brown.
Ive also seen chocolate spotteds down at the bay, Those ones eat fish and chips, rubbish from bins and stuff, I think that may affect their plumage

Is there a market for these if you happen to breed any ? My personal opinion is "why would you ".

I found the chocolates ugly myself - they were too dark and not classy. They looked dirty. I like my cinnamons though. They have their own prettiness about them. I'm sure there is a market for them amongst the various sanitariums that allow pets to be kept.

I don't like chocolates either normals are much better.
