The spotted green pigeon’s history is a mystery. John Latham first described this unique pigeon from two specimens and a drawing he was given in 1783. One of those specimens was lost. The other is held at the World Museum in Liverpool, England. The “Liverpool Pigeon” is a mystery as nothing is known about its origin or original collection location. There have been many theories, but scientists think it was from an island in the South Pacific or Indian Ocean. Others speculate the spotted green pigeon was the “titi”, a bird known to native Tahitians. It was not even deemed its own species until genetic testing was completed in 2008. It showed that the spotted green pigeon was related to the endangered nicobar pigeon, extinct Rodrigues solitaire, and dodo. Like everything else, the extinction of this pigeon is all speculation. It is unknown whether the spotted green pigeon could fly, was flightless, or somewhere in between. It can be assumed that the introduction of invasive predators like cats and rats, along with habitat loss probably led to its extinction in the 1820’s. Although Jurassic Park is fiction, scientists are working on several de-extinction projects. In fact, in 2003 scientists did bring back the extinct Pyrenean ibex, a type of wild goat, for 7 minutes before it died, showing de-extinction is possible. The spotted green pigeon may be a candidate, since there is one specimen that has already been tested in Liverpool, England. If the spotted green pigeon was brought to life, could it ever be reintroduced since its homeland and habits are complete mysteries?
