About These Birds

Crested Quail-Dove

Medium quail-dove, 28–32 cm, with iridescent blue-green crown, a rufous-brown back, grey underparts, and a white facial stripe. Endemic to the Blue Mountains and other forested highlands of Jamaica. Terrestrial frugivore and seed-eater in dense montane forest. Vulnerable due to extremely limited range and continuing 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.
