About These Birds
Metallic Pigeon
Pomba-metálica-de-pescoço-branco (Columba vitiensis) — Pomba de ampla distribuição pelas ilhas do Pacífico Sul, das Filipinas a Fiji e Samoa. Apresenta pescoço branco contrastante com o corpo escuro metálico. Habita florestas tropicais de baixada e altitude média. Tolerante a florestas perturbadas, o que a distingue de muitas pombas insulares.
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.
