In the midst of a gentle rain shower, two turtle doves find solace perched on a rusting iron rail. These beautiful birds, scientifically known as Streptopelia turtur, captivate us with their delicate features and soothing coos. The African collared-dove, also belonging to the Streptopelia family, showcases its unique ringed pattern. Its elegant presence adds diversity to this avian gathering. Amongst them is the crested pigeon, Ocyphaps lophotes, displaying its majestic crown-like feathers. This species stands out with its regal appearance and graceful demeanor. A red-eyed dove named Streptopelia semitorquata joins the ensemble. With vibrant eyes that mirror nature's hues and a distinctive half-collar marking around its neck, it exudes an air of mystery. As we explore further into the world of pigeons and quail through a captivating color lithograph titled "Columbae, Gallinae, " we witness their diverse beauty in stunning detail. Each bird depicted tells a story of resilience and adaptability within their respective habitats. The turtle dove itself takes center stage in another artwork by William Home Lizars after Edward Lear - "Turtur Risorius. " Hand-colored with meticulous care, this piece immortalizes the charm and allure of these beloved creatures. A flock of turtle doves captured in Staverton 1945 reminds us of their migratory nature as they travel across vast distances to find sanctuary during different seasons. Their synchronized flight patterns create mesmerizing displays against clear blue skies. Once again paying homage to Edward Lear's artistry through William Home Lizars' colored lithograph titled "Turtur Risorius, " we are reminded that these birds have long been admired for their elegance and grace throughout history. Finally, Hickling 1944 presents us with yet another enchanting image - a solitary turtle dove amidst serene surroundings.
