Trees in the woods. Simple stick nest. Young shoots, seedlings and grain. Their diet means they need to drink a lot. Most birds scoop water up and throw their heads back to allow the water to run down their throat. Wood Pigeons, however, use their beaks like straws to suck up the liquid. Grey bird with a pinkish breast. Easily identified as a wood pigeon by it's white neck patch and white wing bars. 40–42 cm. 78 - 84 cms. April Clutches: 3 2. White, smooth and glossy. |
