General:
The Somali pigeon (Columba oliviae) or Somali stock dove, is a species of bird in the family Columbidae. It is endemic to Somalia and Somaliland. Because there has hardly been any research on the species, the health of the population is uncertain. However, it has been suggested that the species is relatively rare. The IUCN Redlist identified a possible threat to the species from the speckled pigeon (Columba guinea).[1]
