This conclusion was made by the specialist based on the photo of the bird and the peculiarities of its behavior.
"It's just that the clintuch is a bird that is very secretive in its psychotype and behavior... It prefers deciduous forests, and we do not have so many of them around Moscow. But the turtledove treats a person trustingly and calmly, "Mishin explained.
At the same time, he noted that residents of the Moscow region with turtledoves are much more common than Muscovites.
"Most likely, this is a turtledove that flew on reconnaissance. Or, if it is a park, then for the park the turtledove is a completely natural creature that can nest and live there. Moreover, pigeon families are vegetarians and feed the cubs with the seeds of wild plants, "the ornithologist believes.
In his opinion, the turtledove is no less beautiful than the klintuh.
"She's wonderful. They have beautiful marriage rites, they coo wonderfully. They are beautiful, "the RT interlocutor concluded.
Earlier, ornithologist, candidate of biological sciences, senior researcher at the Zoological Museum of Moscow State University Evgeny Koblik told in an interview with RT about the features of the forest pigeon - klintukh, which was noticed in the moskvoretsky Natural and Historical Park.
