About These Birds

Afep Pigeon

Afep Pigeon (Columba unicincta) — 36–40 cm. Large; dark grey; single narrow black ring on hindneck; pale grey rump. Inhabits canopy of rainforest in West and Central Africa. Frugivore; feeds on forest fruits. Poorly known; an upper-canopy species seldom studied at close range.

Eurasian Collared-dove

Medium dove, 31–33 cm, pale sandy-grey with a black half-collar on the hindneck and white-tipped tail. Originally from South and Southeast Asia, it spread explosively across Europe in the 20th century and was introduced to North America. Granivore of seeds and grains. One of history's most successful range-expanding birds. Least Concern.
