About These Birds
Choiseul Pigeon
Extinct large ground pigeon, estimated 30–35 cm, with a blue-grey body, bluish crest, red bill, and orange-red legs. Known only from six specimens collected on Choiseul Island in the Solomon Islands in 1904. Never reliably recorded again; extinct by the early 20th century, likely due to introduced predators and intensive hunting.
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.
