Spotted
This refers to an unspecified species within the Ducula genus, which includes large, often brightly colored fruit-eating pigeons. Members of this widespread genus are vital seed dispersers in their tropical and subtropical forest ecosystems.
Where to spot
Tropical and subtropical forests, woodlands, and coastal areas across Southeast Asia, Australasia, and islands of the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
How to spot
Look for large, often plump pigeons in the canopy, especially near fruiting trees. Listen for their distinctive deep, booming, or hooting calls. Binoculars are essential for good views of these often high-perching birds.
When to spot
Generally observed year-round, with peak activity often coinciding with local fruiting seasons. Best times are early morning and late afternoon.

Imperial-Pigeons are sometimes called 'fruit doves' due to their almost exclusive diet of fruits, which they consume whole, playing a crucial role in the dispersal of large seeds across their habitats.
