Reading now. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 21:11, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It either builds nests out of sticks and twigs or makes a ground nest in short dry grass, and lays a single egg. – Why "either"? A bird can use sticks and twigs in a ground nest as well? Seems information is lacking here, as it is, it does not make much sense to me.

Reworded, I wanted to say in a tree or on the ground.

flocks of 10–40 birds that can sometimes have as many as 80 individuals. – Small language problem: "flocks of 10–40 birds" can only have so many, not more.

Reworded.

Taxonomy: I suggest to add one sentence including the genus (mountain pigeons): common name and where the genus (as a whole) is roughly distributed. This is important context.

Added.

Create redirects for the other common names to this article?

Done.

wooooooo m – space intended?

That's how it's described in the sources.

producing a loud whooshing sound that is distinctive of Gymnophaps pigeons – How do I relate this to the information given under "vocalizations"?

This noise is unrelated to vocalizations, it's just the noise created as they fly (sort of like how a speeding car passing you by creates that whoosh noise).

That's all, nice read! --Jens Lallensack (talk) 21:36, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
