Nesting: Clutch is a single white egg; Incubation is 16-18 days; juveniles fledge within 12 days. A poor diet with low protein levels can affect the length of time of fledging; it can be increased to about 3 weeks.
Note: feeding a protein rich diet during rearing of the chicks may be applied to all species of Fruit doves/pigeons.
