Molt of after-hatching-year mourning doves
Article Abstract:
Captive and wild mourning doves were paired and reproduced in outdoor flight pens with exposure to natural photoperiod and weather to study aspects of the annual molt cycle. Specifically, molts and plumages of 28 captive and 112 wild after-hatching-year mourning doves in eastcentral Alabama to determine the timing, processes and factors involved in annual molt. Results indicated that captive and wild doves experienced similar molt cycles. The complete body molt that started in late summer had become the drab plumage typical of mourning doves in winter.
