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.
Galapagos Dove
Small dove, 19–22 cm, with grey-brown plumage, black facial markings, iridescent neck spots, and blue orbital skin. Endemic to the Galápagos Islands, where it is one of the tamest birds on Earth. Feeds on seeds, cactus pollen, insects, and carrion. Vulnerable due to small population and introduced predators (rats, cats, dogs).
