The Atoll Fruit-dove (Ptilinopus coralensis) is a small and unique fruit-dove found exclusively on the low-lying coral atolls of the Tuamotu Archipelago in French Polynesia. It is remarkably adapted to its challenging coral island habitat.
Where to spot
Restricted to the forested areas and dense scrub found on the coral atolls of the Tuamotu Archipelago, French Polynesia.
How to spot
Look for it in the sparse vegetation and coconut palms found on the atolls. Its small size and quiet, inconspicuous nature can make it quite elusive.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often seen foraging for fruit in the limited tree cover. Observing them early or late in the day might yield better results.

Its diet primarily consists of fruits and seeds that grow on coral atolls, a testament to its specialized adaptations for survival in a harsh, nutrient-poor environment.
