About Each Bird (Descriptions)

Stocky Mascarene pigeon, 36–38 cm, with pale pinkish-brown plumage, white forehead, and red bill and eye-ring. Confined to Mauritius's native forests. Reduced to just 10 individuals in the 1980s; an intensive conservation programme involving captive breeding raised numbers to 400–500 birds. Frugivore of native forest fruits. Vulnerable.
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.
