Another dazzlingly colored fruit dove from Fiji, the male Golden Dove is almost entirely bright yellow-green with a golden sheen, making it a spectacular sight. It shares its habitat with the Orange Dove.
Where to spot
Endemic to the larger islands of Fiji, including Viti Levu, Ovalau, and Kadavu, inhabiting primary and secondary forests.
How to spot
Look for its distinct golden-yellow plumage in the forest canopy. Like the Orange Dove, the female is duller green. Listen for its low, cooing calls. Patience is key to spotting these canopy dwellers.
When to spot
Active during daylight, often seen foraging in the mid to upper canopy.
