About These Birds
Sclater's Crowned-pigeon
Large crowned-pigeon, 66–73 cm, with blue-grey body, a deep maroon breast, and a fan-shaped blue crest with lacy blue-grey tips rather than white. Found in lowland forests of southern New Guinea between the ranges of the other southern crowned species. Terrestrial frugivore. Vulnerable due to hunting and forest 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.
