The Chilean Pigeon (Columba araucana) has no subspecies.
Chilean pigeon partial migration. In response to the harsh winter weather in the South, the southern species move north to Santiago and occasionally to Antofagasta. They live alone or in small families during nesting, but form larger groups at other times, especially when they get food along their migration route. They gather in groups on trees to pick fruit. As bird populations increase, the species increasingly passes through and patronizes farmland and semi-open habitats.
The nesting season for Chilean pigeons runs from December to March and occasionally in May. This species often nests in large wooded areas littered with trees, especially those with bamboo beds. A nest is a platform made of loose branches and placed between trees, shrubs, or clumps of bamboo. One smooth white egg is laid in each clutch. The incubation period and incubation time are the same as those of the pied tail pigeon, i.e. 18-20 days. There is no information on parental care of young pigeons.
Listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) 2016 Red List of Threatened Species ver 3.1 - Not Threatened (LC).
