About These Birds

Dodo

Iconic extinct flightless pigeon of Mauritius, ~100 cm and 10–18 kg, with grey plumage, vestigial wings, and a large hooked bill. Fed on fallen fruits; fearless of humans having evolved with no natural predators. Driven extinct by hunting and introduced animals by ~1690 CE; a global symbol of human-caused extinction.

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.
