About These Birds
Nicobar Pigeon
Large, striking pigeon, 40–41 cm, with iridescent hackled feathers in metallic green, copper, and bronze over the neck, dark green body, white tail, and red legs. Inhabits small forested islands from the Andamans through the Philippines and Indonesia to the Solomons. Frugivore and seed-eater. Near Threatened due to hunting and deforestation.
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.
