It also breeds on the offshore islands of northern South America, including Trinidad and Tobago and the Netherlands Antilles.

The upperparts and wings are grey-brown, and the underparts are whitish shading to pinkish, dull grey or buff on the chest.

[3] Its flight is fast and direct, with the regular beats and clattering of the wings, characteristic of pigeons in general.

It builds a large stick nest in a tree near ground level and lays two white eggs.

They utilize their voice to perform a variety of tasks: defend territory, attract potential mates, indicate food resources, alert predators, and maintain group contact.
