The Dwarf Fruit Dove is the smallest known fruit dove, hence its common name, a tiny, predominantly green bird with a yellow vent. Despite its diminutive size, it is a hardy inhabitant of New Guinea's forests.
Where to spot
Found in lowland and hill forests of New Guinea and some satellite islands.
How to spot
Requires extreme patience and keen observation. Look for tiny movements in the dense canopy and understory of forests. Its high-pitched, insect-like calls are often the first clue to its presence.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, but its small size and dense habitat make it challenging to spot.

Being the smallest fruit dove, its tiny size helps it access smaller fruits and berries that larger doves might overlook, allowing it to occupy a unique ecological niche.
