About These Birds

Tooth-billed Pigeon

Unusual, stocky pigeon, 29–31 cm, with dark green and chestnut-rufous plumage and a uniquely hooked, tooth-like bill unlike any other living pigeon. Endemic to Samoa. Inhabits montane and secondary forest. Feeds on fruits and seeds on the ground and in trees. Endangered due to deforestation and cyclone damage.

African Collared-dove

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.
