Insights Into Wood Pigeons

Wood pigeons are the largest pigeon species in Europe, easily identified by their gentle cooing calls and white wing bars seen during flight. They construct relatively sparse platform nests out of twigs high up in trees or tall bushes. During courtship, male wood pigeons perform dramatic display flights, climbing steeply into the air before clapping their wings together and gliding down.
