The Key West Quail-Dove lives in tropical and subtropical forests. It has a golden-brown head and neck, a pink body, blue and green wings, and bare red skin around its eyes. 

The bird's low, mournful cooing is the most common sign of its presence. It feeds mainly on seeds and fruits fallen to the forest floor, supplemented occasionally by small insects and other tiny creatures. 

The bird typically builds its nest on low bushes or the forest floor and lays one to two eggs at a time. Likewise, both males and females share incubation and chick care duties equally. 

However, sighting the Key West Quail-Dove in Key West, its original location, is becoming increasingly rare. Its population and habitat have changed significantly over the years.
