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.
African Green-pigeon
Medium green-pigeon, 27–30 cm, bright green with a yellow-green head, yellowish underparts, and orange orbital skin (hence 'calvus' = bald). Widespread across sub-Saharan Africa from Senegambia to Ethiopia and south to KwaZulu-Natal, in woodland, savanna forest, and gardens. Frugivore of figs and wild berries. Least Concern.
