Apparently, some Zebra Doves can be quite valuable, though presumably not the ones I saw. Zebra Doves are raised for singing contests in countries including Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand, and may cost between 1000 and 50,000 USD depending on their singing qualities ( source ).

Please keep that in mind if you ever think that Germany’s only contributions to the world are highways and world wars. If on the other hand you take a zebra, shrink it and attach wings, the punishment may be similar, but the result will not be a Zebra Dove. Plus hopefully, you will be arrested for mistreating animals.

I know it is a bit unfair to the species, but it makes me recall the description of one man`s appearance in one of my favorite Raymond Chandler novels (“above the sky-blue gabardine slacks he wore a two-tone leisure jacket which would have been revolting on a zebra”).

Apparently, while in Egypt waiting for a boat to return to Germany he collected specimens of the bird which is now named after him. Though I actually quite like zebras. Kittlitz’s Plover is named after Friedrich Heinrich, Freiherr von Kittlitz (1799-1874), a Prussian artist, explorer and naturalist.

I saw them at Ayers Rock which while I was there had the worst floods in memory (my parents in Germany thought I must be traveling under a bad star, as they heard about these floods in the German news and knew I was there at that time). Is it offensive to say that Australian Zebra Finches breed like rabbits? My fault, I know.
