Spotted
Finsch's Imperial-Pigeon is a large, dark-plumaged pigeon with a distinctive grey head and neck, contrasting with a darker body. It is native to the Solomon Islands.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Solomon Islands, preferring primary lowland and montane rainforests, from sea level up to higher elevations, often near coastal areas.
How to spot
Look for its robust size and grey head contrasting with a darker body in the upper canopy. Listen for its deep, booming 'woom-WOOM' calls, which are typical of imperial-pigeons and carry well through the forest.
When to spot
Active year-round within its range. Best observed during early mornings and late afternoons when birds are actively foraging or in flight between feeding and roosting sites.
This imperial-pigeon has a relatively restricted range, being endemic to the remote and heavily forested islands of the Solomon Archipelago, where it thrives in mature rainforests.
