About These Birds

Sclater's Crowned-pigeon

Large crowned-pigeon, 66–73 cm, with blue-grey body, a deep maroon breast, and a fan-shaped blue crest with lacy blue-grey tips rather than white. Found in lowland forests of southern New Guinea between the ranges of the other southern crowned species. Terrestrial frugivore. Vulnerable due to hunting and forest loss.

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.
