About These Birds

Shy Ground Dove

Small ground dove, 19–22 cm, with warm brown upperparts, a pale grey head, and whitish underparts. Shy and retiring, inhabiting dense lowland forest on Fiji, Samoa, and Tonga. Terrestrial forager of seeds and small fruits. Vulnerable due to forest loss and introduced predators on Pacific islands.

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.
