Tekukur aka merbuk aka zebra dove
These birds are common in forest edges and gardens all over Malaysia. Their signature te-ku-kurrr call has enthusiasts keeping them as caged birds and vying in singing contests. Luckily, keeping caged birds have lost its popularity over the years.
The Peaceful Dove is a pigeon native to Australia and New Guinea. It is closely related to the Zebra Dove of south-east Asia and the Barred Dove of eastern Indonesia. Until recently, the three were classed as a single species, ''Geopelia striata'', known as Peaceful Dove or Zebra Dove.
