		The bronzewing pigeons are a group of pigeons native to Australia which have distinctive iridescent wing patches that appear bronze or green-brown in dull light, but flash in many bright colours in the sun as the bird moves.
		The dividing line between the bronzewings and the rock pigeons[?] is arbitrary: essentially, rock pigeons are bronzewings without bronze on their wings.
		Squatter Pigeons are restricted to the eastern half of Queensland and north-eastern NSW.

	Faculty of Natural & Agricultural Sciences - Pigeons in Peril
		Unlike the Bronzewing, the Crested Pigeon is common in arid and semi-arid regions, inhabiting dry environments like woodland, shrubland and mallee, and has distinctive features that help it tolerate extreme temperatures and little water.
		The Crested Pigeon has a lower metabolic rate, which keeps its heat load at a minimum when it is hot, and also the ability to lose water efficiently through its skin where it will evaporate and keep the bird cool.
		Unlike the Crested Pigeon, the Brush Bronzewing’s main mechanism for evaporative cooling is through panting which is far less efficient and not adequate to keep it cool at extreme temperatures.

	Review: Phyl Lobl - Bronzewing
		The Bronzewing or Coppertail is the opposite, a proletarian.
		As far back as 1980, Phyl called her record label Bronzewing and her songbook 'Songs of a Bronzewing', so it is not surprising that her recently released retrospective album should be given the same name.
		As with so much that is on the 'Bronzewing' CD, this retrospective not only offers the listener the chance to look back on the songwriting career of one of Australia's leading folk singers and songwriters, but it also allows us to reflect on a generation of Australian folk music and a history of Australian folk.

		Doves and pigeons are usually kept in wire or netting enclosed aviaries, with so-called permanent shelters attached.
		There must, of course, be suitable hiding places on the floor of the aviary for the doves, especially for their young, should they leave the nest early, drop to the ground, and be at the mercy of the larger fowl, which have been known to injure and kill them.
		They feed their squabs by regurgitation as do domestic pigeons, and these stay in the nest much longer than do the young of tame pigeons, which is a -real advantage.

		Bronzewing is a term that means the opposite of Silvertail and it seems to be an apt analogy to partially answer an old question that still rages.
		This is difficult as the Bronzewing Pigeon does not fly high, but it does have its feet and ear close to the ground so its up to others on the ground to keep the songs growing.
		Born in Ballarat, a fourth-generation Australian (both sides), Phyl Lobl spent her childhood on Victorian farms, teenage and young adult years in Victorian towns and life since then in Melbourne and Sydney.

		Common Bronzewings are found in most of Australia, except in the northern part of Cape York Peninsula, some of the dense forests on the east coast and tablelands, and in some treeless areas in the deserts.
		Because pigeons must immerse their beaks to drink, the water has to be at least beak-depth.
		Baby pigeons should be fed High Protein Cereal mixed with Granivore (which is a hand-rearing mix for seed-eaters) and enough water added to make a thickish consistency.
