Tooth-billed pigeon
The tooth-billed pigeon (''Didunculus strigirostris''), also known as the manumea, is a large pigeon found only in Samoa. It is the only living species of genus ''Didunculus''. A related extinct species, the Tongan tooth-billed pigeon (''Didunculus placopedetes''), is only known from subfossil remains in several archeological sites in Tonga.〔〔 The tooth-billed pigeon is the national bird of Samoa and featured on the 20 ''tālā'' bills and the 50 ''sene'' pieces of the 2008/2011 series.
== Description ==
The tooth-billed pigeon is a medium-sized, approximately 31 cm long, dark pigeon with reddish feet and red bare skin around the eye. The underparts, head and neck are greyish with a slight blue-green iridescence, and the tail, wings-coverts and tertials are rufous chestnut, while the remaining remiges are blackish. It has a large, curved, and hooked bright red bill with toothlike projections on the lower mandible. Both sexes are similar, but the juvenile is duller with a browner head, with a black bill with only the base a pale orange.
