The THICK-BILLED GROUND PIGEON, Trugon terrestris, is a terrestrial pigeon found in tropical and sub-tropical rainforests of New Guinea. Its thick bill allows it to open fallen fruit and seeds. (This is not the Thick-billed Ground Dove, Gallicolumba salamonis, which became extinct in the 1900s).

 

The BARE-EYED MOUNTAIN PIGEON, Gymnophaps albertisii, also called the PAPUAN MOUNTAIN PIGEON, lives in mountain forests of New Guinea up to altitudes of 3,350 metres.
