About These Birds
Crested Cuckoo-Dove
Large cuckoo-dove, 42–47 cm, rufous-brown with a bold frontal crest, grey head, and long barred tail. Confined to the Solomon Islands where it inhabits lowland and hill forest. Frugivore of forest fruits. Its prominent crest distinguishes it from other Reinwardtoena species. Least Concern.
Rock Pigeon
The rock pigeon is the ancestor of all domestic pigeon breeds and one of the most abundant birds in cities worldwide. Pigeons have served humans as messengers, food, and subjects for scientific research — their homing ability and vision have been studied extensively. Darwin's study of pigeon breeding contributed to his theory of evolution.
