It may be a single activity, or it may be a group activity, and in most cases several will appear at the same time. When it gets cold in autumn and winter, turtledoves will move to the plain in droves to prepare for the winter. Before winter comes, they will go out in large areas to feed on sorghum, wheat, rice and fruit, and sometimes eat the stomach of insect larvae.

At present, the wild pigeons sold in the market and Nongjiale are mainly divided into two categories: rocky and arboreal, with more varieties, such as forest pigeons, rock pigeons and so on. Can be crossed with domestic pigeons to produce a new breed, although it is called wild pigeons, but it is easy to domesticate, in fact, many people raise all kinds of wild pigeons as pet birds in the family. The turtledove is the general name of the pigeon-shaped birds, which is smaller than the domestic pigeon, so it is usually called the dove to distinguish it from the pigeon. The common ones are European turtledove, mountain turtledove, gray turtledove, bead-necked turtledove, brown turtledove and so on.

Turtledoves, like baby fish, should be divided into two concepts: farmed and wild. Domesticated turtledoves can be bought and sold, but wild turtledoves are protected animals and are not allowed to be sold and eaten. At present, wild protected animals in the country are becoming more and more scarce, and many lawbreakers use their spare time to hunt and kill in the forest, which has seriously affected the ecological balance of nature.
