Spotted
The Jambu Fruit Dove is an exquisitely beautiful bird, with males boasting a bright pink face and a deep maroon breast, while females are duller green. This small, shy fruit dove inhabits lowland forests across parts of Southeast Asia.
Where to spot
Found in Southeast Asia, including the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo, and adjacent small islands. Inhabits lowland rainforests, often near rivers or swampy areas.
How to spot
Look for them quietly perched in the mid to upper canopy of fruiting trees. Their small size and secretive nature make them difficult to spot, but their soft, purring or hooting calls can often reveal their presence.
When to spot
Most active in the early morning and late afternoon when foraging for fruits. It is a resident species, observable year-round.

The male's strikingly vibrant pink face, resembling a ripe Jambu fruit (a tropical fruit), is one of the most stunning colorations found in the avian world.
