  • It either builds nests out of sticks and twigs or makes a ground nest in short dry grass, and lays a single egg. – Why "either"? A bird can use sticks and twigs in a ground nest as well? Seems information is lacking here, as it is, it does not make much sense to me.
Reworded, I wanted to say in a tree or on the ground.
  • flocks of 10–40 birds that can sometimes have as many as 80 individuals. – Small language problem: "flocks of 10–40 birds" can only have so many, not more.
Reworded.
  • Taxonomy: I suggest to add one sentence including the genus (mountain pigeons): common name and where the genus (as a whole) is roughly distributed. This is important context.
Added.
  • Create redirects for the other common names to this article?
Done.
  • wooooooo m – space intended?
That's how it's described in the sources.
  • producing a loud whooshing sound that is distinctive of Gymnophaps pigeons – How do I relate this to the information given under "vocalizations"?
This noise is unrelated to vocalizations, it's just the noise created as they fly (sort of like how a speeding car passing you by creates that whoosh noise).
I think I've addressed all your concerns. AryKun ( talk) 12:48, 3 January 2022 (UTC) reply
