The Comoros Blue-Pigeon (Alectroenas sganzini) is an eye-catching pigeon endemic to the Comoros archipelago. It sports a brilliant blue body, a red crown, and striking yellow eyes, making it a distinctive sight in its island habitat.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Comoro Islands (Grande Comore, Mohéli, Anjouan) and Mayotte. Found in humid evergreen forests, secondary forests, and sometimes cultivated areas with trees.
How to spot
Scan the canopy of tall trees, especially those with fruits. Their bright coloration can make them stand out. Listen for their deep cooing calls, which can help locate them within the dense foliage. They are relatively arboreal.
When to spot
Can be observed throughout the year. Like many frugivorous birds, their activity might increase during periods of abundant fruit. Early morning and late afternoon are generally most active.
