About These Birds
New Britain Bronzewing
Medium-large terrestrial pigeon, 30–33 cm, similar to New Guinea Bronzewing but with a white head (not just forehead). Confined to lowland forests of New Britain in the Bismarck Archipelago. Feeds on seeds and fallen fruits on the forest floor. Least Concern.
Choiseul Pigeon
Extinct large ground pigeon, estimated 30–35 cm, with a blue-grey body, bluish crest, red bill, and orange-red legs. Known only from six specimens collected on Choiseul Island in the Solomon Islands in 1904. Never reliably recorded again; extinct by the early 20th century, likely due to introduced predators and intensive hunting.
