The New Guinea Ground Dove is a large, predominantly terrestrial pigeon species endemic to the island of New Guinea. It is a shy inhabitant of dense lowland forests.
Where to spot
Endemic to New Guinea, where it can be found in primary rainforests and mature secondary growth, typically at lower elevations.
How to spot
Requires quiet and patient observation in dense forest habitats. Look for subtle movements on the forest floor. Its shy nature means it's often heard before it's seen, so listen for rustling in the leaves.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Observations are most likely during the day, particularly in the early morning or late afternoon when it might be more active.
