A small dove of the forest edge with two rows of iridescent green spots on the wings. Its descending, slowing series of coos is one of the best-known bird sounds in Kenya.
Did you know?
The call is said to sound like "my mother is dead, my father is dead, all my relations are dead, and my heart goes doo doo doo".
