The Negros Bleeding-heart is a critically endangered species of pigeon endemic to the islands of Negros and Panay in the central Philippines. Known for the distinctive blood-red patch on its white breast, it is a truly striking bird.
Where to spot
Found in remnant patches of lowland rainforest, particularly primary forest, on Negros and Panay islands in the Philippines. It typically inhabits elevations from sea level up to 1,000 meters.
How to spot
To observe this highly elusive and critically endangered bird, focus on dense, undisturbed forest undergrowth. Remain silent and still, watching for movement among the leaf litter. Its shy nature means sightings are rare, requiring extreme patience and luck.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, foraging for fallen fruits and seeds on the forest floor. Best observation times are early mornings or late afternoons, when they might be more active and less disturbed.

This species exhibits a remarkable 'bleeding heart' patch that is more intensely reddish-orange and extends further down the belly compared to some other bleeding-heart pigeons.
