Why it matters
The Cook Islands fruit-dove is a striking example of island specialization, endemic to the islands of Rarotonga and Atiu. Its rounded wings and tail are evolutionary adaptations for navigating the dense, tangled forest canopy of its tropical home, making it a distinct and vital part of the archipelago's avian heritage.
