Looks like it is the offspring of a pair of red turtle dove that papa has been feeding outside the house everyday. They are very tame and used to our presence now. Many types of birds flocked to our house everyday!
Papa says we must let it go when it recover! Oh, so sad! There it goes....up up and away! Fly, birdie fly!
Ahhhh, now it is back with its' family! The four of them now made the custard apple tree at the back of our house as their home. Every morning I would be greeted by their melodious chirping and every night all of them would cuddle together to sleep! Good night birdie!

Ha! Lots of them around my house...and pigeons too. Wouldn't even fly off when I draw near. Guess they know I'm too fat to chase and catch them. Muahahahahaha!!!

Got a bird nest under one of my apartment beam quite colorful bird with stripes and been there for a few years already. Also the mynah birds would always stopped by my fountain for a drink & 'shower' so I am feeding them with papaya skin at the balcony.
sound funny.. birds at your house anywhere? hahaa
From your photo, these are not Red Turtledoves, but the commoner Zebra/Peaceful Dove (Geopelia striata), commonly known as Merbok by the locals.
jytou : Thks for giving the correct bird name. I guess terkukur is a little bigger in size. Cheers!
