These pigeons, native to the Caribbean and South America, inhabit a range of habitats from forests to urban areas. Access to diverse food sources contributes to their overall health and vitality. Habitat quality directly impacts the health of Bare-eyed Pigeons. Loss of natural habitat due to deforestation, urbanization, and habitat degradation can lead to reduced food availability, nesting sites, and increased exposure to pollutants. Environmental stressors such as climate change, pollution, and habitat fragmentation pose significant threats to the health of Bare-eyed Pigeons.

They may be susceptible to various pathogens, including viral, bacterial, and parasitic infections. Monitoring and managing disease risks through surveillance, vaccination programs, and habitat management are essential for mitigating health threats to Bare-eyed Pigeon populations.

Infestations can cause irritation, feather damage, weight loss, and compromised immune function. Proper hygiene practices and veterinary care play a crucial role in controlling parasite infestations and maintaining the health of Bare-eyed Pigeon populations.

Collaborative efforts involving scientists, conservation organizations, government agencies, and local communities are crucial for addressing the complex challenges facing the health of Bare-eyed Pigeons.

Genetic diversity is essential for maintaining the long-term health and viability of Bare-eyed Pigeon populations. Conservation initiatives aimed at raising awareness, enforcing protective legislation, and promoting sustainable practices are essential for safeguarding Bare-eyed Pigeon populations and their habitats.
