$The European Turtle Dove (Streptopelia turtur) is a small, slender migratory bird belonging to the dove family, Columbidae. It is native to Europe, North Africa, and parts of the Middle East and is well-known for its gentle demeanor and soft, purring cooing call.\n\nThe European Turtle Dove is easily recognized by its distinctive plumage. It has a warm, reddish-brown back with black and white streaks on the wings, a pinkish chest, and a light gray head. One of its most striking features is the black and white striped patch on the side of its neck. Its tail is tipped with white, which is particularly noticeable in flight. Adult birds measure about 26–28 cm (10–11 inches) in length with a wingspan of 47–53 cm (18–21 inches).\n\nThese doves are primarily seed-eaters, feeding on a variety of grains, grasses, and weeds, often foraging on the ground in open fields and agricultural areas. They are migratory birds, spending their breeding season in Europe and parts of Asia, and wintering in sub-Saharan Africa.\n\nUnfortunately, the European Turtle Dove has experienced significant population declines in recent decades due to habitat loss, changes in agricultural practices, hunting, and food scarcity. It is now listed as a vulnerable species, and conservation efforts are underway to protect its habitats and ensure sustainable practices along its migration routes.$

$It has a brown back, a head with two black lateral stripes and black spots on the wings.\nIn addition to its size, another characteristic capable of identifying it is the two small black stripes behind its eyes, forming as if they were ears (origin of the Latin name auriculata = with ears). The eyes are surrounded by bluish skin. On the wings, the black balls are also striking. It flies very fast, with changes in height and in zigzags, unlike other doves. This species of dove can measure up to 25 centimeters in length. Intermediate in size between a dove and a pigeon, it can only be confused with the juritis (genus Leptotila), but unlike these, it does not occur in forests and woodlands, being strictly rural. The male has a bluish head and his neck, when illuminated by sunlight, shows pink and blue spots to attract the female during mating season, when he displays himself by filling his neck. In the female, the head is a brownish, reddish tone, with the neck having a yellowish and greenish tone when the sunlight illuminates it. However, outside the breeding season, the feather colors of both sexes are practically identical, with no sexual dimorphism.$

$Western Cattle Egret.\nThe western cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis) is a species of heron (family Ardeidae) found in the tropics, subtropics and warm temperate zones. Most taxonomic authorities lump this species and the eastern cattle egret together (called the cattle egret), but some (including the International Ornithologists' Union) separate them. Despite the similarities in plumage to the egrets of the genus Egretta, it is more closely related to the herons of Ardea. Originally native to parts of Asia, Africa and Europe, it has undergone a rapid expansion in its distribution and successfully colonised much of the rest of the world in the last century.\n\nIt is a white bird adorned with buff plumes in the breeding season. It nests in colonies, usually near bodies of water and often with other wading birds. The nest is a platform of sticks in trees or shrubs. Western cattle egrets exploit drier and open habitats more than other heron species. Their feeding habitats include seasonally inundated grasslands, pastures, farmlands, wetlands and rice paddies. They often accompany cattle or other large mammals, catching insect and small vertebrate prey disturbed by these animals. Some populations of the cattle egret are migratory and others show post-breeding dispersal.\n\nThe adult cattle egret has few predators, but birds or mammals may raid its nests, and chicks may be lost to starvation, calcium deficiency or disturbance from other large birds. This species maintains a special relationship with cattle, which extends to other large grazing mammals; wider human farming is believed to be a major cause of their suddenly expanded range. The cattle egret removes ticks and flies from cattle and consumes them. This benefits both species, but it has been implicated in the spread of tick-borne animal diseases.$
