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.
Small dove, 20–22 cm, grey-brown with two iridescent green wing spots and a pale grey head. Widespread in sub-Saharan Africa from Senegal to Somalia and south to South Africa, in woodland, savanna, and forest edge. Granivore of seeds and termites on the ground. Least Concern.
