I went back to the pet shop that calls its doves "Spanish doves" and acquired a pair. The so-called Spanish dove the shop is selling is the Eurasian collared dove, scientifically known as Streptopelia decaocto. The pet shop caretakers didn't know the scientific names of the pets they were selling (I wasn't surprised). The bird known as Spanish dove in the Western world is the Inca dove; "Spanish" because of its range (Spanish-speaking countries). The scientific name of the Inca dove is Scardafella inca.
