Actually, that's not the issue with the Nicobar Pigeon - it isn't an island-only species. It can be found on mainland Asia.
Where? I know there are some individual records on the Malay Peninsula but I'm not aware of them regularly occurring anywhere on the mainland.

Apparently there is a small population on the Malay Peninsula near Mergui: IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Either way, probably not a valid species for the challenge given the rule quoted above. Instead Tino could maybe put the White-throated ground dove or Olive-headed lorikeet if they're still at the zoo?
 
I definitely missed the part about it having to be a single island or chain! Darn.

The range map and description both only mention islands, the part about Mergui says remote islands. Both of those species are no longer at Philly unfortunately (or if they are, are not presently out or signed anywhere). I'll find something, if not from what I saw yesterday, there's still plenty of time to see something else :)

Edit:

The Raggiana Bird-of-Paradise should work, yes?
 
Nicobar Pigeon has counted previously (other challenges) as an island species on the basis that it is generally only recorded on mainlands as a visitor.


I think Island Hoppers have to be endemic to a single island or island chain, not just islands in general
I don't think the Island Hopper rule to "see animals ... that are endemic to single islands or island chains" is supposed to mean what is stated above, but simply to exclude species which are native to mainlands. It's just that most island species are only found on one island or in one archipelago, not plural.
 
I'll stick with the Raggiana then, easy enough :) My other species just happened to all be from one island/country, too.
