Birds of New South Wales
-
Spotted Dove Spilopelia chinensis
Gentle repeated 'coo-coo-croook'.
Birds of the North Island
-
New Zealand Pigeon Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae
Maori: kereru. Almost silent; the loud whoosh of its wingbeats gives it away.
Birds of California
-
Rock Pigeon Columba livia
A muffled rolling coo-roo-coo and clattering wingbeats on takeoff.
-
Mourning Dove Zenaida macroura
A mournful coo-OO-oo-oo-oo; wings whistle sharply on takeoff.
Birds of Northern Thailand
-
Zebra Dove Geopelia striata
A soft, bubbling, accelerating coo — the background sound of every Thai street.
Birds of Central & Southern Thailand
-
Pink-necked Green-Pigeon Treron vernans
Soft wheezy coos and low growls from inside a fruiting fig.
Birds of England
-
Common Wood Pigeon Columba palumbus
A soft, throaty five-note coo, 'coo-COO-coo, coo-coo', repeated a few times and cut off abruptly.
-
Eurasian Collared Dove Streptopelia decaocto
A monotonous three-note 'coo-COOO-cook' with the stress in the middle; a nasal 'kwurr' in flight.
Birds of the Pacific Northwest
-
Band-tailed Pigeon Patagioenas fasciata
A deep, owl-like, two-part whoo-hoo, slow and soft, from the forest canopy.
