They prefer areas with access to water and plenty of grasses, which provide both food and nesting materials.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Diet<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Primary Food:<\/strong> Seeds, especially from grasses, are the main diet. This includes seeds from native Australian grasses as well as those from cultivated crops.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Supplementary Food:<\/strong> Small amounts of insects, particularly during the breeding season to provide additional protein.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Feeding Behavior:<\/strong> Like the Zebra Dove, they forage primarily on the ground, picking up seeds and small insects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Breeding<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Breeding Season:<\/strong> Breeding generally occurs during the rainy season when food is more abundant.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nest Location:<\/strong> Nests are built in dense shrubs or low trees, usually in colonies. They use grasses and other plant materials to construct a tightly woven nest.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egg Quantity:<\/strong> Clutches typically consist of 4-6 eggs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Incubation Period:<\/strong> About 12-14 days.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fledging:<\/strong> Chicks fledge around 18-21 days after hatching.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Lifespan<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>In the Wild:<\/strong> Typically around 5-7 years.<\/li>\n<li><strong>In Captivity:<\/strong> Can live longer, up to 10-12 years or more, with proper care.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Behavior<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Social Structure:<\/strong> Albino Shaft Tails, like their non-albino counterparts, are social birds often seen in flocks. They are known for their peaceful and sociable nature.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vocalization:<\/strong> Their vocalizations are typically soft, high-pitched chirps, which they use to communicate within their flock.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/zumma.la-studioweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/content-single-product-image-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"153\" height=\"34\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Scientific Name: <\/strong><em>Poephila acuticauda<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Size:<\/strong> Approximately 12-15 cm (4.7-5.9 inches) in length.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Color:<\/strong> The albino variety is characterized by its all-white plumage due to the lack of pigmentation.
