New breeding information on Brazilian birds. 2: Columbidae and Cuculidae

“…They were constructed externally of thin roots ( n = 1) or petioles ( n = 1), internally only of petioles ( n = 1), petioles with dry leaves ( n = 1) or petioles with thin roots ( n = 1). Thus, petioles were an important constituent of the nests, which were similar to descriptions in the literature, although like the previous species it can also nest on the ground (Wetmore 1968, Antas 1987b, Lopes et al . 2013, Nacinovic 2018).…”

“…In Brazil, it is known from most states, but is absent or rare in the south (Sick 1997). The species' breeding biology is poorly known, although data are available from several countries (Young 1925, Belcher & Smooker 1936, Skutch 1964, Wetmore 1968, Bosque et al 2004, Bosque & Pacheco 2019, de la Peña 2019) including Brazil (Ihering 1900, Dias da Rocha 1911, Antas 1987b, Lima et al 2010, Nacinovic 2018.…”
