About These Birds

Shining Imperial-pigeon

Shining Imperial-pigeon (Ducula chalconota), 38 cm. Richly iridescent bronze-green upperparts with a contrasting pale grey head and underparts. Found in montane forest of New Guinea from 700 to 2,200 m. Frugivore. Least Concern; common in hill and montane forest.

Negros Bleeding-heart

Medium ground dove, 25–28 cm, with brown upperparts and a distinct reddish breast spot, smaller than in Luzon Bleeding-heart. Endemic to Negros and Panay in the Philippines. Inhibits remnant lowland and hill forest. Critically Endangered; forest cover on Negros is near-exhausted, and the species may number fewer than 250 adults.
