Spotted Dove

Taming with seeds

Hold seeds and right-click to feed it. Each attempt consumes one item and tries to tame it. Wheat seeds and beetroot seeds have a higher success chance than other seeds. Feeding again shortly afterward, while it is still willing to approach you, also has a higher success chance.

Companion commands

Once tamed, the owner can sneak and right-click with an empty hand to cycle through Free, Follow, Stay and Return to Nest. The current mode appears on screen. Servers can disable this feature. A bird may still prioritize escaping danger.

Weather and rain shelter

It often pecks at the ground around farmland and forest edges in the early morning and evening. It senses weather changes, adjusts its activity and seeks shelter, so it may not stay in the same place before and after rain.

Companions and rest

It often moves alone or in pairs and seeks suitable perches to rest. Fright and attacks interrupt rest and cause it to flee.

Food list

Wheat seeds, beetroot seeds, melon seeds, pumpkin seeds, torchflower seeds and pitcher pods.

These are the food tags in the current local build. Items contaminated with bird droppings are not treated as normal food for feeding.
