Spotted
The Luzon Bleeding-heart is a vibrant and striking ground pigeon endemic to the island of Luzon in the Philippines. It is famous for the vivid, blood-red patch on its white breast, giving it its common name.
Where to spot
Endemic to the island of Luzon in the northern Philippines, where it inhabits primary and secondary lowland rainforests, typically found foraging on the forest floor.
How to spot
Look for this bird moving quietly on the forest floor, blending surprisingly well with leaf litter despite its bright plumage. Patience is key, as they are typically very shy. Listen for soft cooing calls that might betray their presence.
When to spot
Best observed during daylight hours, especially in the early morning or late afternoon when they are most actively foraging for seeds and fallen fruits. They are shy birds, often retreating at the slightest disturbance.

The 'bleeding heart' patch on its chest is more prominent and intensely colored in males, making them particularly striking during display rituals.
