About These Birds

Polynesian Ground Dove

Small ground dove, 20–23 cm, with grey and brown plumage, dark reddish flight feathers, and white-tipped tail. Native to French Polynesia; extinct on many islands but survives in remnant populations on Moorea, Mopelia, and a few other atolls. Critically Endangered due to introduced rats, cats, and habitat loss.

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.
