Crested Pigeon food

["michael norris" <>]

Another pigeon question (after consulting Google):

Do Crested Pigeons prefer smaller seeds?  Down here I usually see them 
feeding on grasses out in the open.
This contrasts with Common Bronzewings which are much more often under trees 
or in heathlands (and seem to prefer like those of Black Wattles and Tree 
Lucerne - similar in size to the wheat which is their most often recorded 
food).
A differential preference in seed size would explain how these species 
partition their habitats.
I know their are some journal articles but I don't fancy forking out $25 a 
go to see if they answer my question.
