Spilopelia senegalensis, the Laughing Dove, belongs to the family Columbidae, the pigeons' family.

The Laughing Dove is so named, for its low, rolling, hollow croo-doo-doo-doo-doo chuckling call that is reminiscent of the human laughter.

They have a pinkish head, blue-grey wings and a coppery brown band across the lower fore-neck that is spotted with black. Juveniles are more rufous than adults, and have reduced throat spotting.

The diet of the Laughing Doves consists mainly of seeds, grains, other vegetation and small insects. They are fairly terrestrial, foraging on the ground in grasslands and cultivation. They are not particularly gregarious, and are usually alone, or in pairs.

The habitat of these doves include tropical and subtropical dry grasslands, temperate grasslands, dry savanna, dry farmlands and dry scrub, shrub lands, cultivated fields, fallow fields, pasturelands, rural gardens, urban areas and abandoned buildings.

The distribution range of the Laughing Dove extends from the tropics in Africa, south of the Sahara, the Middle East and southern Asia east to India. It was introduced to south-west Western Australia from sub-sahara Africa in the late 1890s and has become well established in generally urban areas close to Perth and surrounding towns.

This individual was photographed in the grasslands on the outskirts of Dharwad, Karnataka State, India

Hahaa... This is by far my most popular photo on Flickr. Go figure.... ;-) He's also featured at the bottom of my personal photography website.

This wild donkey was bothered by flies and shook his head at the right moment when I snapped the shot. He came up to our car window to get snacks... and I said "You want flies with that?" That's when he shook his head. At the time, I thought he was saying "NO".. but the capture makes it look like he was laughing at my joke. :) Lucky grab! It really looks like he's laughing or saying "YEAH!!!" :-D
