Spotted
The Picazuro Pigeon is a common and widespread species in South America, particularly noted for its stocky build and purplish-chestnut plumage. It frequently inhabits open woodlands, savannas, and agricultural areas.
Where to spot
Found across a large part of South America, including Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Bolivia. Common in open country, savannas, and cultivated fields.
How to spot
Look for them in open agricultural lands, parks, and tree-lined areas. Identify by its purplish-chestnut body, the presence of black and white scaling on the hind-neck, and its robust appearance. Its deep, resonant cooing call is a characteristic sound of the South American countryside.
When to spot
Year-round resident throughout its range. Most active during the day, especially mornings and late afternoons.
