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.
