The turtle doves to GuelmaLa Guelma
Fragile and rudimentary (that our pictures clearly show), the nest of the dove is usually installed in a tree where the crotch form a foundation that can support simple twigs that constitute it. It's a pile of sticks made by the male summarily disposed of the beak with the participation of the female also. This will lay 2 eggs separated by a day or two. It incubates for two weeks relayed, it seems, by his partner. After hatching, the lovebirds have only fluff, raw feathers are acquired after more than 10 days. They grow very quickly and, over the days, they gradually learn to leave the nest and are returning more when they grow up.
