The Wood Pigeon (Columba palumbus) is a sizable and common bird known for its distinctive appearance and cooing calls. Scientifically, it belongs to the family Columbidae. Adult Wood Pigeons typically have a bluish-gray plumage with a noticeable white patch on their neck and a bold white wingbar during flight.
In terms of behavior, Wood Pigeons are often observed in both urban and rural environments, foraging on seeds, grains, and fruits. Their cooing calls, a familiar sound in many regions, contribute to their species' recognition. The repetitive and rhythmic coos are part of their courtship rituals and communication with other pigeons.
