... One of the most nomadic of Australian pigeons, the Flock Bronzewing (Phaps histrionica) are endemic to the more arid parts of Australia. Whilst they are observed in a variety of habitats including grassy plains, spinifex, saltbush and mulga, they appear to prefer tussock grassland areas. As they have a need for water, they can be seen near pools of water, stock tanks and bore drains.
A highly nomadic species, the “flock” part of their name came from that in the 1930s they were seen in large flocks of up to 100,000 birds. These days, those numbers are rare. ...

The flock bronzewing (Phaps histrionica), also known as the flock pigeon, harlequin bronzewing and the harlequin pigeon [2] is a species of pigeon in the family Columbidae.[3] It is endemic to drier parts of Australia.[4]
Taxonomy
English ornithologist John Gould first described the flock bronzewing, known then as the harlequin bronzewing, in volume five of his book The Birds of Australia. It was originally listed under the genus Persitera.[5] His first sighting occurred in 1839 along the Mooki River (upper section of Namoi River) within the Liverpool Plains, New South Wales.[4]
A syntype of Columba (Peristera) histrionica Gould (Bds. Austr., 1841. Pt.2. (March 1), pl. (13) = 5 pl. 66 of bound volume), an adult male, is held in the vertebrate zoology collection of National Museums Liverpool at World Museum, with accession number NML-VZ D1486b. The specimen was collected in Namoi, New South Wales in December 1839. The specimen was purchased by John Gould and came to the Liverpool national collection via the 13th Earl of Derby’s collection which was bequeathed to the people of Liverpool in 1851.[6] There are two other syntypes in the collections of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia.[6] ...

... Les Columbidés occupent une grande variété d’habitats, témoignant de leurs grandes facultés d’adaptation !
Ils peuvent être grégaires ou pas. Quelques espèces telles que la Colombine arlequin (Phaps histrionica) vivent en grands groupes toute l’année, et encore plus après la reproduction. D’autres comme la Colombe rouviolette (Geotrygon montana) sont vues seules ou en couples, et ne forment jamais de rassemblements. ...
