The peaceful dove (Geopelia placida) is a pigeon native to Australia and New Guinea.

The bird is a relatively small pigeon and varies in length from 19 to 21 centimetres (7.6 to 8.4 inches).

The peaceful dove has a pink-grey breast with chequered grey-brown wings.

Thin striations of black appear around the neck and nape area and descend down the back.

Calls of the peaceful dove are high-pitched "doodle-doo", "co-co-coo" and "croorrr!".
