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.
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.
