About These Birds

Rodrigues Turtle-dove

Extinct Mascarene dove, known only from subfossil remains discovered on Rodrigues Island. It was a medium-sized, ground-dwelling pigeon related to the Pink Pigeon. Likely became extinct in the 17th or 18th century following human settlement, introduced predators, and habitat clearance on the small island.

African Collared-dove

Small dove, 26–29 cm, pale pinkish-grey with a black hindneck collar and white tail corners. Native to arid zones of sub-Saharan Africa from Senegal to Somalia and south to Tanzania. The ancestor of the domesticated Barbary Dove (ring-necked dove). Granivore of grass seeds and small grains in dry savanna, farmland, and desert edge. Least Concern.
