Spotted
The Amboyna Cuckoo-Dove is a widespread species across Wallacea and New Guinea, known for its long, graduated tail and predominantly rufous-brown plumage. It is an adaptable forest dweller, often seen foraging on fruit.
Where to spot
Found across a wide range, including the Lesser Sundas (east of Timor), Moluccas, New Guinea, Bismarck Archipelago, and Solomon Islands. Inhabits lowland and montane forests, forest edges, and disturbed areas.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic long tail and warm rufous-brown coloration. Note any subtle iridescent sheen on the neck. Listen for its deep, mournful cooing calls, which are a common sound in its habitat.
When to spot
Active during the day. Often seen flying quickly through the forest or perched quietly. Best time to observe is often during the fruiting season of native trees, when they are more concentrated.

Like many cuckoo-doves, it primarily feeds on fruits, especially those of figs, and plays an important role in seed dispersal within its ecosystem, contributing to forest regeneration.
