	African Collared Dove - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The African Collared Dove (Streptopelia roseogrisea) is a small dove found in Africa in the arid region south of the Sahara.
		The African Collared Dove is the species thought to be the wild ancestor of the domestic Barbary Dove, though some suggest the Eurasian Collared Dove (Streptopelia decaocto) may also have been involved.
		The African Collared Dove is able to hybridise with the Barbary Dove, and it is thought that the increase in the range of colours of Barbary Doves available that occurred in the later twentieth century was the result of the importation of African Collared Doves into the United States for interbreeding.
