About These Birds
Enggano Cuckoo-Dove
Slender cuckoo-dove, 32–35 cm, uniform warm cinnamon-rufous with minimal barring and a relatively short tail. Restricted to Enggano Island off the southwestern coast of Sumatra. Inhabits dense lowland forest. Frugivore. Vulnerable due to extremely small range and ongoing forest loss on the island.
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.
