About These Birds
Victoria Crowned-pigeon
World's largest pigeon, 73–75 cm, with blue-grey plumage, a deep maroon breast, and the most spectacular crest of any pigeon: a fan of upright blue- grey lacy plumes tipped in white. Inhabits lowland rainforest of northern New Guinea and Biak Island. Terrestrial frugivore. Vulnerable due to heavy hunting pressure and deforestation.
New Britain Bronzewing
Medium-large terrestrial pigeon, 30–33 cm, similar to New Guinea Bronzewing but with a white head (not just forehead). Confined to lowland forests of New Britain in the Bismarck Archipelago. Feeds on seeds and fallen fruits on the forest floor. Least Concern.
