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.
Shy Ground Dove
Small ground dove, 19–22 cm, with warm brown upperparts, a pale grey head, and whitish underparts. Shy and retiring, inhabiting dense lowland forest on Fiji, Samoa, and Tonga. Terrestrial forager of seeds and small fruits. Vulnerable due to forest loss and introduced predators on Pacific islands.
