Eurasian Collard-Doves
Northword Magazine July/August 2018 Issue 74 Lost & Found Eurasian Collard-Doves
The legend goes like this: In the 1970s an exotic pet breeder transported fifty Eurasian collared-doves from the Netherlands to the Bahamas. His pet store was broken into and during the robbery the birds escaped. The birds nested, bred, and spread to neighbouring islands and by the 1980’s arrived in Florida. They made themselves at home and proceeded to colonize North America. In the last ten years, they have arrived in northern BC.
