turtle dove

a small, flightless bird resembling a pigeon with a turtle shell on its back. It is almost completely useless, and lives in a tree all its life owing to the fact if it tries to jump down it will die (the turtle shell means it is too heavy to fly). Their diet composes of leaves, fruit, and any cat/monkey/other that climbs their tree.

how are your turtle doves doing, Dave?
Not very well, Bill. One of them swallowed my cat.
