Supplementary observations were conducted on three other nearby pairs, and the breeding productivity of nine local […]
The Crested Pigeon’s Ochyphaps lophotes range expansion in south-east Australia has encompassed urban areas, but its urban ecology is insufficiently known to allow identification of factors facilitating urban colonisation.

Nests were found in M. cardiophylla, Acacia bivenosa, A. coriacea, […]
