This is a very common species in the Ajo district, where it 
inhabits the tala woods, which resound with its melodious coo. 
It appears to breed in every month of the year, the nest being 
a platform of sticks placed in any convenient situation in a 
bush or tree. Two eggs are the normal clutch, though on 
one occasion I took two nests containing three eggs in each ; 
but as these were very close together, I conclude that a third 
bird had placed one of its two eggs in each nest.
