The dodo #Raphus #cucullatus (#Columbidae) was native to #Mauritius and was #extinct between 1662 and 1690 due to #humanactivities, #domesticanimals, #naturaldesasters and may be its #parasites

The #Nicobarpigeon #Caloenas #nicobarica (#Columbidae) is the closest living relative of the extinct #dodo and #Rodriguessolitaire. It is distributed from the #NicobarIslands to New Guinea, migrates in orderly flocks between islands, often is a #grounddweller, but breeds in #treenests. N. Alexandre et al. (2025) won a #haplotyperesolved and #chromosomelevel #genome.

@raccoon
The words 'dove' and 'pigeon' are colloquial (not scientific) and hardly ever applied consistently. Basically they mean the same thing. So, you are both right and wrong depending upon whom you ask.

The #dodo #Raphus #cucullatus (#Columbidae), lived on #Mauritius and was discovered during a Dutch expedition in 1598. This #flightless, ground-nesting #bird #diedout by 1690 due to introduced #predators, as it lacked #defensivebehavior. A research project aims to #recreate it based on its and the #genome of its closest living relative. D. Angst et al. (2017) found #ecological aspects from #bonehistology studies.

A male Common Emerald Dove (Chalcophaps indica) spotted at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore on 27 Dec 2024. An uncommon resident bird, and a lovely looking dove.

Spotted this Pink-necked Green-Pigeon (Treron vernans) feeding on the fruits of a Simpoh Air (Dillenia suffruticosa) at the Pandan River, Singapore, today. It was enjoying the meal and didn't mind people taking shots.
