Diet and Foraging

Diet

Little studied. Socorro Dove is a frugivore; its diet consists primarily of seeds, fruits, berries, and figs, including fruits of Bumelia socorrensis and Prunus capuli (McLellan 1926). In captivity also eats live mealworms, and so presumably also was partially insectivorous in the wild (Baptista 1997).
