About Each Bird (Descriptions)
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ #}
Medium-large terrestrial pigeon, 30–33 cm, similar to New Guinea Bronzewing but with a white head (not just forehead). Confined to lowland forests of New Britain in the Bismarck Archipelago. Feeds on seeds and fallen fruits on the forest floor. Least Concern.
Medium dove, 28–31 cm, pale grey with extensive white in the wings (visible in flight), a black hindneck collar, and pink breast. Restricted to the arid Horn of Africa, primarily Ethiopia and Somalia, in dry thorn-scrub and semi-desert. Granivore of grass seeds. Little-known and rarely photographed. Least Concern.
