The Comoro blue pigeon (Alectroenas sganzini) is a species of bird in the family Columbidae.
The lower part of the breast is shiny violet-blue, and the belly and flanks are more greenish blue in colour.
These often fly about 10 m (30 ft) above the water between islands in the Aldabra group, making regular journeys in one direction in the mornings and back again in the evenings.
[2] They are arboreal, fruit-eating birds which seem to avoid landing on the ground; however, small stones found in their crop seem to indicate that they do sometimes descend to the earth.
Also, even though its population is decreasing, the rate of decline is thought to be less than 30% over ten years or three generations and thus is below the vulnerable criteria.
