About Each Bird (Descriptions)
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ #}
Slender cuckoo-dove, 32–35 cm, uniform warm cinnamon-rufous with minimal barring and a relatively short tail. Restricted to Enggano Island off the southwestern coast of Sumatra. Inhabits dense lowland forest. Frugivore. Vulnerable due to extremely small range and ongoing forest loss on the island.
Medium pigeon, 28–32 cm, vinaceous-grey with a pale greyish head and dark reddish-brown bare orbital skin. Endemic to the dry inter-Andean valleys and slopes of Peru and extreme northern Chile. Favours dry scrub, cactus, and thorn forest. Frugivore and granivore. Least Concern but restricted range.
