The Cameroon Olive Pigeon is a species of forest pigeon found in West and Central Africa, often considered a subspecies of the African Olive Pigeon. It prefers montane forest habitats.
Where to spot
Montane forests of West and Central Africa, including parts of Cameroon, Nigeria, and Equatorial Guinea, often at higher elevations.
How to spot
Similar to the African Olive Pigeon, but generally darker and with some regional plumage variations. Look for it in montane forest canopies, often feeding on fruits. Identification might require careful observation of subtle differences from other olive pigeons.
When to spot
Year-round, active during daylight. More vocal during the breeding season.
Its classification as a distinct species or a subspecies of the African Olive Pigeon is a subject of ongoing debate among ornithologists, highlighting the subtle differences in its morphology and distribution.
