About These Birds
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.
Crested Pigeon
Slender, 31–35 cm pigeon with grey plumage, brown wings, iridescent wing patches, and a conspicuous upright black-tipped crest. Widespread across Australia in open woodland, grassland, and farmland. Granivore of seeds on the ground. Commonly seen in pairs or small flocks. The crest raises when alarmed. Least Concern.
