The Mindanao Bleeding-heart is an endemic pigeon species found on the island of Mindanao in the southern Philippines. Like its relatives, it possesses a distinctive patch of red on its breast, giving it a 'bleeding' appearance.
Where to spot
Endemic to the island of Mindanao in the southern Philippines, inhabiting the undergrowth of primary and mature secondary lowland forests, usually at elevations between 300 and 1,000 meters.
How to spot
This shy forest pigeon requires a quiet approach. Scan the forest floor carefully, as they are adept at remaining concealed in dense vegetation. Look for subtle movements among the leaf litter. Binoculars are recommended for better viewing from a distance.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, foraging on the forest floor for seeds, fruits, and small invertebrates. Opportunities for observation are typically best during the quieter parts of the day, such as early morning or late afternoon.
