The Zebra Dove originated from Southeast Asia and has successfully spread to various locations worldwide. It is adaptable to various environments, including open habitats like farmland gardens and urban areas. 

It is a relatively small bird with black and white stripes on its upper body and a pale grey belly. The bird's call is one of the most pleasant among dove species. Moreover, it primarily feeds on small seeds and grains, as well as small insects and invertebrates. 

The Zebra Dove's monogamous behavior is unique among birds; pairs of Zebra Doves often preen each other and share meals.
