Exotic Fruit Pigeon - Ptilinopus

Jul 29, 2018 07:00


Quite possibly the most exotic pigeon I will ever write about is the Australian Fruit Dove/Pigeon. These doves are fruitiverous, meaning they only eat fruit.

There are about 50 spiecies of fuit doves that are concetrated across Australia, New Guinnie, and the Phillippines.  Most are critically endangered, and some are already extinct by the time I have writted this artical.

Overall I don't know much about these birds, however today I believe that this bird is a very rare wildlife encounter. I particularly have sen nothing like it in my travels so far. I am not sure which subspiecies it belong to yet, but it was a very interesting encounter.
