About These Birds

Sulawesi Ground Dove

Large ground dove, 30–35 cm, with brown and grey plumage, a white forehead, and three dark spots on the white breast suggesting a 'triple wound.' Endemic to Sulawesi and adjacent Togian and Banggai Islands. Inhabits lowland and hill forest floor. Granivore and frugivore. Vulnerable due to deforestation.

New Britain Bronzewing

Medium-large terrestrial pigeon, 30–33 cm, similar to New Guinea Bronzewing but with a white head (not just forehead). Confined to lowland forests of New Britain in the Bismarck Archipelago. Feeds on seeds and fallen fruits on the forest floor. Least Concern.
