The female takes two to three days to construct the flimsy platform nest. It is made of twigs and leaf petioles that are carefully selected by the male [5] (as in other dove species) and delivered to her at the nest site. [2] The nest is placed 2 to 10 meters above the ground on a horizontal branch fork. [2]
The male then leads the female to potential nest sites, and the female will choose one. The female dove builds the nest. The male will fly about, gather material, and bring it to her. The male will stand on the female's back and give the material to the female, who then builds it into the nest. [36]

a male songbird's (i.e. singer's) filter contains the range of songs that it can develop; a female songbird's (i.e. receiver's) filter contains the range of songs that it finds acceptable for mate choice; In one possible situation, the population consists mainly of birds with wide filters.
Eurasian collared doves are a monogamous species, and share parental duties when caring for young. [34] The male's mating display is a ritual flight, which, as with many other pigeons, consists of a rapid, near-vertical climb to height followed by a long glide downward in a circle, with the wings held below the body in an inverted "V" shape.
