Turtle Doves are beautiful birds and they feed on the seeds of very some pretty plants. We’ve combined the two in a colouring sheet that you can download below.

The colouring sheet depicts some of the plants that produce seeds that Turtle Doves like to eat. It also shows some of the important habitats that Turtle Doves need, such as scrub, ponds and cultivated margins. As a spot of inspiration, here are some of the flowers included in the drawing and some pictures of Turtle Doves:
