About These Birds

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.
