The Réunion Blue-Pigeon (Alectroenas payandeei) is an extinct species known only from subfossil remains discovered on the island of Réunion. It was a close relative of other blue-pigeons from the Indian Ocean islands, part of a unique avian lineage.
Where to spot
The Réunion Blue-Pigeon is an extinct species, identified from subfossil remains. It was formerly endemic to the island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean, where it would have inhabited forested areas.
How to spot
Direct observation of the Réunion Blue-Pigeon is impossible due to its extinction. Understanding of this species is derived solely from paleontological research, specifically the study of its skeletal remains found on Réunion.
When to spot
This species is extinct and therefore not observable at any time. Its disappearance likely occurred centuries ago, possibly even before significant European settlement.
