Maximum longevity: 17.9 years (captivity)
Observations: In captivity, these animals can live up to 17.9 years (Flower 1938). In the wild, record longevity is 17.8 years (http://www.euring.org/data_and_codes/longevity.htm). Like in other doves, the breeding patterns of these animals depend on geographic region with animals in warmer climates being able to breed throughout the year (http://bna.birds.cornell.edu/).
