Stictopelia cuneata Turtledove Tur"tle*dove`, n. [See 1ts Turtle.]
1. (Zo["o]l.) Any one of numerous species of pigeons
belonging to Turtur and allied genera, native of various
parts of the Old World; especially, the common European
species (Turtur vulgaris), which is noted for its
plaintive note, affectionate disposition, and devotion to
its mate.
Note: The South African turtledove (T. albiventris), and
the ashy turtledove of India (T. rubicolus), are
similar to the European species in their habits.
2. (Zo["o]l.) Any one of several species of pigeons more or
less resembling the true turtledoves, as the American
mourning dove (see under Dove), and the Australian
turtledove (Stictopelia cuneata).
Note: The turtledove of the Scriptures is probably Turtur
risorius, a species which is still plentiful in Egypt
and other Eastern countries. It is closely allied to
the European turtledove.
