Spotted
The Collared Imperial-Pigeon is a distinctive species found across New Guinea and some surrounding islands. It is easily identified by its unique black band or 'collar' across its chest and its contrasting white belly.
Where to spot
Widespread across New Guinea, the Aru Islands, and some Torres Strait islands. It prefers lowland forests, mangroves, gallery forests along rivers, and sometimes even cultivated areas.
How to spot
Look for its unmistakable plumage: a pale head and breast, a prominent black band across the chest, and a clean white belly. Its calls are deep, booming coos, often heard from within the forest.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often seen foraging on the forest floor or perching conspicuously in the mid-story of trees. It is a resident species, present year-round.

Unlike many other imperial pigeons, the Collared Imperial-Pigeon frequently forages on the ground, making it one of the few Ducula species that regularly descends from the canopy.
