Abstract
Abstract We observed white-winged doves (Zenaida asiatica asiatica) feeding on Chinese tallow (Triadica sebifera) seeds in south Texas. We noted two types of foraging behavior from October through January during 2013–2015. We observed white-winged doves either plucking seeds directly from the branches or cooperatively feeding by one dove shaking a branch, allowing loose seeds to fall to the ground to be consumed by other doves. This is the first recorded occurrence of apparent collaborative foraging behavior between white-winged doves on the ground and individuals in the treetops.
