About These Birds

Afep Pigeon

Afep Pigeon (Columba unicincta) — 36–40 cm. Large; dark grey; single narrow black ring on hindneck; pale grey rump. Inhabits canopy of rainforest in West and Central Africa. Frugivore; feeds on forest fruits. Poorly known; an upper-canopy species seldom studied at close range.

Negros Bleeding-heart

Medium ground dove, 25–28 cm, with brown upperparts and a distinct reddish breast spot, smaller than in Luzon Bleeding-heart. Endemic to Negros and Panay in the Philippines. Inhibits remnant lowland and hill forest. Critically Endangered; forest cover on Negros is near-exhausted, and the species may number fewer than 250 adults.
