The Victoria Crowned Pigeon (Goura victoria), named in honor of Queen Victoria, is a striking bird known for its vibrant blue-gray plumage and elaborate lace-like crest. As one of the largest pigeon species, it can reach up to 74 cm (29 inches) in length and weigh around 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs).
Native to the lowland and swamp forests of northern New Guinea and nearby islands, these pigeons primarily forage on the forest floor for fruits, seeds, and small invertebrates. Social and vocal, they communicate through deep, resonant "boom" calls.
Breeding involves both parents, who build simple nests and care for a single chick, feeding it nutrient-rich "pigeon milk." Despite their captivating appearance, Victoria Crowned Pigeons are classified as Near Threatened due to habitat destruction and hunting for their feathers and meat. Conservation efforts are crucial to preserving their natural habitats and ensuring their survival.
Their majestic presence and unique behaviors make the Victoria Crowned Pigeon a fascinating subject for bird enthusiasts and conservationists alike.
