About These Birds
Negros Fruit-dove
Negros Fruit-dove (Ptilinopus arcanus), 20 cm. Known from a single specimen collected on Negros Island, Philippines, in 1953. Plumage details suggest affinity with black-naped fruit-doves. May be Extinct; no confirmed sightings in over 70 years. Deforestation has destroyed virtually all Negros lowland forest.
African Collared-dove
Small dove, 26–29 cm, pale pinkish-grey with a black hindneck collar and white tail corners. Native to arid zones of sub-Saharan Africa from Senegal to Somalia and south to Tanzania. 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.
