The Eurasian Collared Dove nests in built-up settings, preferably in leafy suburban gardens and parks. The nest is a sparse, thin platform of twigs, placed in a dense hedge, a bush or a tree. The female normally lays 2 white eggs, and the pair can have several broods during a long breeding season that stretches from late winter to autumn. Both parents incubate and initially feed the young with crop milk, a nutritious secretion from the crop.
