Pied cuckoo-dove
- ... that pied cuckoo-doves scare other birds away from fruiting plants by clapping? Source: Pratt, Thane K. (1984). "Examples of Tropical Frugivores Defending Fruit-Bearing Plants". The Condor. 86 (2): 126–128. "The pigeon attacked all other species...It behaved agonistically by clapping its wings loudly while attempting to alight on the visitor"

Improved to Good Article status by AryKun (talk). Self-nominated at 07:54, 21 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Pied cuckoo-dove; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Article appears to meet DYK requirements and a QPO has been done. No close paraphrasing was found. The hook is cited inline; it's offline so AGF, but I'm accepting the reliability of the quote provided; the provided alternate source here also confirms it.

- Hi, Narutolovehinata5, I'd like to withdraw this nom. I just rechecked the source and it's referring to the great cuckoo-dove, not the pied cuckoo-dove (possibly the drunkest mistake I've ever made, I have no idea how), and so this hook is wrong. Sorry for the inconvenience. AryKun (talk) 12:37, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
@AryKun: I see. Are you planning to nominate that for DYK instead? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:58, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
- Narutolovehinata5, no, that article isn't currently eligible for DYK and I don't have the time to ge it through GAN, so not anytime soon. AryKun (talk) 07:02, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
