Spotted
The Choiseul Crested Pigeon is an enigmatic and unfortunately extinct species of pigeon, formerly endemic to Choiseul Island in the Solomon Islands. Only a single specimen was ever collected in 1904, and despite searches, it has never been seen since.
Where to spot
Historically, it inhabited the lowland forests of Choiseul Island in the Solomon Islands. As an extinct species, it cannot be observed in the wild today.
How to spot
This species is considered extinct, therefore, direct observation is impossible. Any information about its behavior comes from inferences based on its morphology and the habits of related species.
When to spot
Observation in the wild is not possible as this species is extinct. The single specimen was collected in October 1904.

This bird's existence is known from just one specimen, making it one of the most mysterious and rare pigeons ever documented before its extinction, likely due to introduced predators and habitat loss.
