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.
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.
