Manumea | Tooth-Billed Pigeon | The National Bird of Samoa

Save the Manumea website: https://www.savethemanumea.com/. A huge thank you to the Samoa Conservation Society for their assistance with this video. The Manumea or Tooth-Billed Pigeon is an extremely unique bird only found in Samoa. Known for cracking open tough fruits with its serrated beak, it has much that makes it unique. Unfortunately, it is also Critically Endangered, with only a handful left. Take a look, as I dive into the biology and conservation of this unusual bird. All pictures attributed to Animal Analytics were taken by me personally. A full description of all others can be found in the following document, along with notable scientific papers I used when researching this topic.
