And an amusingly tiny head. :)

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!

Wow, they're gorgeous! I love the rainbow sheen of the feathers. They look kind of like a cross between a chicken, a pigeon and a parrot. Thanks for sharing!

No problem! I think they're stunning as well. Tropical pigeons ftw because they nearly always have amazing and sometimes highly impractical looking feathers, and still manage to fly! :)

You're welcome! That would be amazing. I wonder if they're actually practical to keep as domestic pigeons? I know a few zoos keep them quite easily.

well, the post mentioned they are endangered because of pet trade
