Ryukyu Wood Pigeon Colouring Page

Ryukyu Wood Pigeon (Columba jouyi). Country of origin: the Ryukyu and Daito islands of Japan. Extinction: The last confirmed record was in 1936; its exact final disappearance is unknown. Cause: Forest clearance and hunting, with possible pressure from introduced predators, reduced its island populations. Special characteristics: Its small head and broad tail contrasted with a stout, rounded body. How to Colour: Try dark blue-grey plumage, a lighter head, subtle green-purple neck tones and warm red feet. Follow the broad tail feathers with smooth strokes and preserve the neck highlights.
