The pale-vented pigeon is one of 285 species of pigeons and doves that occur virtually all over the world, except Antarctica. Smaller species tend to be known as doves; larger ones are pigeons. Most have soft subdued coloration, often punctuated with metallic iridescence on the neck feathers. Some are strictly arboreal; others forage mainly on the ground.
The pale-vented pigeon is a smaller-sized bird which is widely distributed in Costa Rica, and is a permanent resident. It is quite common, especially at lower elevations (up to about 2000 feet).
Forest edges are the best places to see these pigeons, but they also frequently occur in pastures, palm plantations and along rivers. They tend to avoid thick mature forests.
These are often very shy birds, typically avoiding close proximity to humans. But, in some more isolated areas, they can be quite approachable, especially at foraging sites.
