Zebra Dove

The Zebra Dove, Geopelia striata, also known as Barred Ground Dove, is a bird of the dove family Columbidae, native to South-east Asia. It is closely related to the Peaceful Dove of Australia and New Guinea and the Barred Dove of eastern Indonesia. These two were classified as subspecies of the Zebra Dove until recently and the names Peaceful Dove and Barred Dove were often applied to the whole species.

Zebra Doves were introduced to Hawaii in 1922.

Zebra Doves in Days of Infamy
During the Japanese occupation of Hawaii, food supplies were becoming scarce on Hawaii. As a result, Zebra Doves were hunted and eaten by people faster than they bred.
