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.

Adamawa Turtle-dove

Medium dove, 27–30 cm, with warm rufous-brown upperparts, a black neck collar, and a deep orange-red breast. Endemic to the highland plateaus and montane grasslands of northern Nigeria and Cameroon. Granivore of grass seeds and cultivated grains. Poorly studied and localised range. Least Concern.
