    The Grenada Dove is Grenada's national bird and is critically endangered. It is endemic to Grenada and its population has steadily declined. The dove lives in forested areas along Grenada's west coast and eats fruits, seeds, and grains. Its habitat has been threatened by land clearing for agriculture and development, and predators like mongooses, rats, cats and opossums hunt the dove and its eggs. Conservation efforts aim to protect the dove's habitat and make hunting them illegal in Grenada's national parks.
