Negros bleeding-heart pigeon

The Negros bleeding-heart pigeon (Gallicolumba keayi) is endemic to the Philippines where it is found on the islands of Negros and Panay. It is critically endangered; continuing rates of forest loss on the two islands where it occurs suggest that it will continue to decline. The species has an extremely small, severely fragmented population.[3] The bird is listed as an EDGE species under the analysis of the Zoological Society of London.[4]

25 cm (10-in) is its total length. Ground-feeder but roosts and nests on bushes or vines; seen in pairs in a flock. Birds with enlarged gonads recorded in April and May and a recent fledgling obtained on May 3. Nest and eggs are undescribed.[5]

Distribution and habitat

The Negros bleeding-heart lives primarily in primary and secondary forest. They are threatened by hunting and habitat loss.[6]

gollark: Nope, still installs `luabitop` and does the `bit.c:79:2: error: #error "Unknown number type, check LUA_NUMBER_* in luaconf.h"` thing.
gollark: Installing Lapis off LuaRocks seems to bring in an old version of `pgmoon` which requires `luabitop` which doesn't work beyond 5.2, is there a way to make LuaRocks pull directly off the git repository or something?
gollark: Huh. This does *also* look asynchronous. I guess I can probably deal with it being mildly less efficient, I don't need massive throughput.
gollark: I'm mostly just looking at options right now, wasn't aware there was a non-OpenResty way to use Lapis.
gollark: There seem to be some Lua SQLite3 bindings, but I worry that those would ruin performance because of not fitting into the non-blocking-IO thing.
