About Each Bird (Descriptions)
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ #}
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.
Medium pigeon, 28–30 cm, distinctively patterned in black, white, and chestnut on the head and neck with plain brown upperparts. Highly nomadic, forming large flocks on arid grasslands and Mitchell grass plains of inland Australia. Granivore of grass seeds. Population fluctuates with rainfall. Least Concern.
