About These Birds
Liverpool Pigeon
Extinct island pigeon, known from a single specimen in the World Museum Liverpool and a painting. Believed to have inhabited Pacific islands, possibly the Marquesas or Society Islands, based on morphology. Dark grey with white spots. Extinct; likely died out in the 18th or 19th century from hunting and introduced predators.
Enggano Cuckoo-Dove
Slender cuckoo-dove, 32–35 cm, uniform warm cinnamon-rufous with minimal barring and a relatively short tail. Restricted to Enggano Island off the southwestern coast of Sumatra. Inhabits dense lowland forest. Frugivore. Vulnerable due to extremely small range and ongoing forest loss on the island.
