About These Birds
White-crowned Pigeon
Large pigeon, 35–38 cm, dark slate-grey with a bold white crown and nape contrasting sharply with the dark body. Inhabits tropical hardwood forests and mangroves of the Caribbean islands and Florida Keys. Primarily frugivorous, feeding on berries, seeds, and figs. Near Threatened due to habitat loss and hunting pressure.
African Collared-dove

The ancestor of the domesticated Barbary Dove (ring-necked dove). Granivore of grass seeds and small grains in dry savanna, farmland, and desert edge. Least Concern.
