Other species are only living in Tenerife, like the Bolle’s Pigeon (Columba bollii), and the Laurel Pigeon (Columba junoniae) unfortunately not observed. Difficult to see because they are living exclusively into tree foliage, and their relatively dull and classic colours don’t make them an important goal for amateur ornithologists!
We also have to quote the Chaffinch palmae (Fringilla coelebs palmae) similar to ours but with more accentuated colours, Atlantic islands Gull (Larus michahellis atlantis) with duller yellow legs than the traditional species, the Plain Swift (Apus unicolor unicolor), the Spanish Sparrow (Passer hispaniolensis), the Monk Parakeets (Myiopsitta monachus) which nest in palm trees and colonise towns and countries, and also several Shearwater and Petrel species if we moves away from the coasts. Finally, there is about fifty different species in Tenerife, giving an interesting and educational goal to each walk into the island.
