About These Birds

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.

Caroline Ground Dove

Small ground dove, 20–23 cm, with dark brown upperparts, a white face and breast, and grey flanks. Endemic to the Caroline Islands (Micronesia), particularly Pohnpei and Kosrae. Inhabits lowland and hill forest floor. Frugivore and granivore. Vulnerable due to small island range and introduced predators.
