Zebra Dove, Vietnam
Hi, I'd like to share my sighting from this week of 2 Zebra Doves in Southern Vietnam (Chochinchina). From what I've been told from the knowledgeable people I've asked so far, this would be the first sighting for Vietnam. As I understand it is the feral populations in Thailand and Cambodia that keep expanding and seem to have reached Vietnam now.

Only a question of time until they made it to Vietnam. Hopefully they didn't come from a cage.....
Where exactly did you see them?

Hi Hanno,
yea, escape is a possibility of course, but not so likely I think as there were 2 birds.... Did you see Zebra Doves in captivity in Vietnam? I so far haven't... but I do not know the markets in Saigon. Location was at the edge of Tri An Reservoir. Cheers! Florian |

Honestly I do not think they were captive, either.

Hi,
I got a few more replies regarding the dove. Seems that Zebra Doves really haven't been recorded in Vietnam previously. A guy who studied the spread of Zebra Doves in Lao mentioned that edges at reservoirs with Mimosa pigra thickets are very typical locations when they newly colonise an area, so that fits very well with the Tri An reservoir. They will be probably found in larger numbers soon around there... Florian |
