Abstract

The breeding season of captive barbary doves was studied near Perth, W.A., between 1966 and 1971. It was found that the birds ceased breeding in May and began again in late July. The interval from pair formation to egg-laying was long early in the breeding season, shortest in early summer, and very long in autumn.
