Feral Barbary dove

Original – A feral Barbary dove in Tasmania, Australia. The species is not usually found in Tasmania. The dove had most likely escaped from an aviary as its flight feathers have been clipped. Also known as a ringneck dove or ring dove (Streptopelia risoria).

Reason: Good image quality, obviously escaped from an aviary, not supposed to be found here

Comment it'd be nice to have a longer caption. I want to know why it's "not supposed to be found here". They're not native to Tasmania is my guess (I'm too lazy to look @ the article. :) Intothewoods29 (talk) 17:22, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Added a bit more to the caption based on the conclusion that the people at Wikipedia:WikiProject Birds came up with when asked to identify it. Noodle snacks (talk) 00:04, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
