About These Birds
Tooth-billed Pigeon
Unusual, stocky pigeon, 29–31 cm, with dark green and chestnut-rufous plumage and a uniquely hooked, tooth-like bill unlike any other living pigeon. Endemic to Samoa. Inhabits montane and secondary forest. Feeds on fruits and seeds on the ground and in trees. Endangered due to deforestation and cyclone damage.
New Britain Bronzewing
Medium-large terrestrial pigeon, 30–33 cm, similar to New Guinea Bronzewing but with a white head (not just forehead). Confined to lowland forests of New Britain in the Bismarck Archipelago. Feeds on seeds and fallen fruits on the forest floor. Least Concern.
