How do wing shapes differ between migratory pigeons and pigeons that fly less often?

In columbiform birds, wing shape is closely linked to a species' migratory habits and environment. Highly migratory pigeons, as well as those that primarily forage in trees, typically possess long, pointed wings that facilitate efficient flight.1

In contrast, species that fly less often—such as certain island or montane pigeons—often exhibit reduced wings. Additionally, pigeons that resemble game birds, which are adapted for terrestrial life and often inhabit woodland cover, tend to have short, rounded wings.1
