Spotted
The Many-colored Fruit Dove is a stunning and truly unique fruit dove, primarily white with contrasting yellow, red, and black markings. Its distinct plumage makes it stand out significantly from other typically green-bodied fruit doves.
Where to spot
Found on various islands in Samoa, Fiji, and Tonga in the South Pacific. It inhabits lowland and montane forests, often found near coastal areas or in disturbed forest patches.
How to spot
Look for its unmistakable white plumage with colored patches. It can be found in the canopy of fruiting trees. Given its distinct appearance, it's easier to spot than many other fruit doves, but it can still be shy.
When to spot
Present year-round in its island habitat. Best observed during the fruiting seasons, typically in the morning or late afternoon when actively feeding.
Its predominantly white body with splashes of vivid color makes it visually distinct from almost all other fruit doves, most of which are green-dominated for camouflage within the forest. It truly lives up to its 'many-colored' name.
