The Mauritius Turtle Dove, scientifically known as Nesoenas cicur, was distinct from the introduced Madagascar species N. picturatus due to its more robust legs and smaller wings, indicating a predominantly terrestrial lifestyle. This species was known to occur in large flocks, and its tame nature made it an easy target for early settlers, who would often knock them out of the sky with sticks or catch them with their bare hands for leisure.

The Mauritius Turtle Dove, scientifically known as Nesoenas cicur, was distinct from the introduced Madagascar species N. picturatus due to its more robust legs and smaller wings, indicating a predominantly terrestrial lifestyle. This species was known to occur in large flocks, and its tame nature made it an easy target for early settlers, who would often knock them out of the sky with sticks or catch them with their bare hands for leisure.
Unfortunately, the Mauritius Turtle Dove disappeared from the island around 1730. This extinction was primarily due to overhunting, predation from introduced mammals, and severe deforestation. The high demand for the birds, combined with their tame behavior, made them easy targets for settlers, leading to a rapid decline in their population.
The disappearance of the Mauritius Pigeon around 1730 can be attributed to a combination of factors. Over-hunting by humans for food and trade, predation from introduced mammals such as rats and cats, and severe deforestation are believed to have played a significant role in the extinction of this bird species.

We would like to bring to your attention the existence of a fraudulent profile on Facebook, which falsely claims to be representing Mauritius Post Ltd.
Mauritius Post Ltd informs its esteemed customers and the general public that, due to a substantial increase in the volume of air parcels and small packets, combined with limited cargo space on Air Mauritius flights to Rodrigues, the regular daily dispatch of these items has been temporarily suspended. During this period, priority will be given to EMS services and letter mail, while the transportation of parcels and small packets will be subject to delays. Customers intending to send parcels using Colipost boxes (sizes S, M, L, and XL) are advised to use the sea freight service for shipments to Rodrigues. We would like to reassure you that all parcels, up to a maximum weight of 10 kg, will continue to be accepted via Surface Mail. Mauritius Post Ltd has put measures in place to ensure that surface mail dispatches to Rodrigues occur at least twice a month to minimise disruptions. We sincerely regret any inconvenience this temporary suspension may cause and appreciate your understanding and patience. Mauritius Post Ltd remains committed to providing timely updates on the situation as developments unfold. Thank you for your continued cooperation.
