The species is found in light forests and gardens as well as in urban areas

Habitat:

Originally woodland, scrub, farmland and habitation. Now found in light forests and gardens as well as in urban areas.

Notes:

Spotted Doves move around in pairs or small groups[15] as they forage on the ground for grass seeds, grains, fallen fruits and seeds of other plants.[16] They may however take insects occasionally and have been recorded feeding on winged termites.[17] The flight is quick with regular beats and an occasional sharp flick of the wings. A display flight involves taking off at a steep angle with a loud clapping of the wing and then slowly gliding down with the tail spread out.[12] out in warm regions but tends to be in summer in the temperate ranges.[12] In Hawaii, they breed all year round, as do all three other introduced species of doves. Males coo, bow and make aerial displays in courtship. (all info from Wikipedia)
