Sounds and Vocal Behavior
Vocalizations
The song of Chilean Pigeon is a described as a series of deep hoos, each lasting 1 s, the final syllable slightly drawn out (Whitney, in Fjeldså and Krabbe 1990) or as "a deep doubled hooo-HOOOO hooo-HOOOO hooo-HOOOO ...." (Jaramillo 2003). The song often is preceded with "a long rolling PHRRRRRRRRRR" (Jaramillo 2003), as is typical of Patagioenas.

Additional audio recordings of vocalizations of Chilean Pigeon can be heard at Macaulay Library and at xeno-canto.
Nonvocal Sounds
As is true of many species of large pigeon, the wings of Chilean Pigeon "clap" when the bird takes flight.
