The Turtle Dove (Streptopelia torur) is a very rarely seen pigeon in Roztocze. This bird is closely related to the Collared Dove, which is well known to all. It inhabits the edges of forests of various types, young forests, mid-field plantings in the open landscape. It has a slender body and a long tail which makes it an extremely fast and agile flying pigeon. The species name of the Turtle Dove comes from the specific voice it produces, "turr-turr". The Turtle Dove often forages by walking in the fields where it looks for cereal grains. It also eats fruit, seeds of weeds and conifers. It is quite a skittish bird and it is very difficult to notice it walking in the field or hanging around on telephone wires. Watching this beautiful pigeon in Roztocze brings a lot of joy.
