About These Birds

Victoria Crowned-pigeon

Inhabits lowland rainforest of northern New Guinea and Biak Island. Terrestrial frugivore. Vulnerable due to heavy hunting pressure and deforestation.

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.
