About These Birds
Ring-tailed Pigeon
Large Jamaican endemic pigeon, 38–42 cm, dark slate-grey with a distinctive broad white or grey tail band and a pale head. Confined to Jamaica's forested Blue Mountains and John Crow Mountains. Frugivore of forest fruits and berries. Vulnerable due to restricted range, ongoing deforestation, and hunting pressure.
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.
