About These Birds

Orange Dove (Chrysoena victor), 20 cm. Male entirely luminous orange; female green. Endemic to Fiji (Vanua Levu and neighbouring islands). Inhabits primary and secondary forest from sea level to 1,000 m. Frugivore. Least Concern; tolerates secondary growth and remains locally common.
Rock Pigeon
The rock pigeon is the ancestor of all domestic pigeon breeds and one of the most abundant birds in cities worldwide. Pigeons have served humans as messengers, food, and subjects for scientific research — their homing ability and vision have been studied extensively. Darwin's study of pigeon breeding contributed to his theory of evolution.
