About These Birds

Pomba-africana-de-anel (Columba unicincta) — Pomba de grande porte das florestas do centro de África, incluindo Camarões, Gabão, República do Congo e RDC. Apresenta uma banda acinzentada característica no pescoço. Habita florestas tropicais densas de baixada. Pouco conhecida, sendo registrada principalmente através de especímenes antigos.
Galapagos Dove
Small dove, 19–22 cm, with grey-brown plumage, black facial markings, iridescent neck spots, and blue orbital skin. Endemic to the Galápagos Islands, where it is one of the tamest birds on Earth. Feeds on seeds, cactus pollen, insects, and carrion. Vulnerable due to small population and introduced predators (rats, cats, dogs).
