RFI Barbary Dove

[Michael Ramsey <>]

Spotted Doves and Laughing Doves are also widely kept in capitivity and have 
formed populations from introductions as well. How do we know which ones are 
decended from wild birds in Asia and Africa or ones that were escaped or 
released from aviaries. Do you not count these as well because man has kept 
them as a species in captivity for some type, the same as Barbary (African 
Collared) Doves and Rock Doves (Feral Pigeons).

European Goldfinches are also widely kept in aviaries. How do I know the one I 
saw yesterday are decended from the ones from a pet shop or from England in the 
1860's. Or where they from England then kept in captivity and then released or 
escpaed??

If a species is breeding in the wild in Australia without human assistance I 
think it should be tickable.
