Critter Clues

I get my name from the sad-sounding call that I make..

I eat mostly seeds, but once in a while I may eat snails or insects.

In 1971, I was designated as Wisconsin’s official symbol of peace!

Because of my long, pointed wings and tail, I can fly very fast — sometimes up to 55 miles per hour!

When I lay eggs, I almost always lay two at a time.

I’m sometimes called by the name “turtledove.”

When I find my mate, it is often for life! We work together to feed our babies.
