Bolle's pigeon
columba bollii latin

Bolle's Pigeon builds a stick nest in a tree, laying one white egg.

This is a monotypic species, although in the past Bolle's Pigeon was sometimes regarded as a subspecies of the Trocaz Pigeon.

Bolle's Pigeon is more similar in appearance to the Trocaz Pigeon, although it lacks the whitish neck patch and has a more extensively pink breast.

Mitochondrial, the nuclear DNA sequences suggest that the ancestor of Bolle's Pigeon may have arrived in the Canary Islands about 5 mya.

Brown, rather than dark grey plumage, and the lack of dark bands on the grey tail distinguish it from the other pigeon endemic to the Canary Islands, Bolle's Pigeon.

The similar Canarian species, the Bolle's Pigeon or Dark-tailed Laurel Pigeon Columba bollii has a pale grey subterminal band and blackish terminal band to tail.

Ocotea fruit is also consumed by several Columbiformes such as Columba trocaz, Delegorgue's pigeon, Bolle's pigeon (Columba bollii), African wood pigeon, and American doves.

The park is renowned as one of the best places to observe the two Canarian endemic pigeons, Laurel Pigeon (Columba junoniae) and Bolle's Pigeon (Columba bollii).

One of several subgroups within Columba consists of the widespread Eurasian Common Wood Pigeon, Bolle's Pigeon, the Trocaz Pigeon, and the African Afep Pigeon.

The Bolle's Pigeon (Columba bollii) is a species of Columba genus of the family Columbidae, of doves and pigeons, which is endemic to the Canary Islands, Spain.

Mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences suggest that the ancestor of Bolle's Pigeon may have arrived in the Canaries about 5 mya, but an older lineage that gave rise to another Canarian endemic, the Laurel Pigeon, C. junoniae, may date from 20 mya.
