About These Birds
Negros Bleeding-heart
Medium ground dove, 25–28 cm, with brown upperparts and a distinct reddish breast spot, smaller than in Luzon Bleeding-heart. Endemic to Negros and Panay in the Philippines. Inhibits remnant lowland and hill forest. Critically Endangered; forest cover on Negros is near-exhausted, and the species may number fewer than 250 adults.
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.
