About These Birds

Thick-billed Ground Dove

Small ground dove, 20–23 cm, with dark brown upperparts, a grey head, and a notably thick, robust bill. Known from the Solomon Islands; last confirmed record in 1904. Critically Endangered (possibly Extinct) due to deforestation, hunting, and introduced predators throughout the Solomon 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.
