About the Maroon-chested ground dove
The Maroon-chested ground dove is a bird in the family Columbidae (order Columbiformes). Its conservation status on the IUCN Red List is “least concern”.
What does the Maroon-chested ground dove sound like?
Most birds have two kinds of vocalisation: songs, which are learned or innate phrases delivered mainly in spring and summer, and calls – brief contact, alarm and begging notes heard all year round. Listening for both helps with identification.
The recordings here are labelled as song. Listen for differences in rhythm, pitch and repetition – the spectrum display makes it easy to see whether a sound is a pure whistle (a thin line), a harsh call (a broad band) or a trill (rapid repeated marks).
