SANTA CRUZ GROUND-DOVE

These are small round birds of the forest floor. They are only found in the Solomon Islands (Santa Cruz Islands) and on Santo in Vanuatu. They live in old growth forest, 300-1000m elevation. It is believed the Santa Cruz Ground Dove  forages only on the ground, but perches on low branches and roosts in trees. Their diet includes seeds, berries and  young shoots it finds when foraging the forest floor, insects and worms. It’s call is a slow series of up to 15 low woop

noises.
