The abundance of the Norfolk pigeon at the time of the island's settlement is unknown.
 Early records indicate the presence of the bird, but do not contain any information on its numbers.
 Based on the behaviour of the other subspecies, it is likely that the bird relied upon fruiting plants for food.
