Spotted
The Orange Dove is an unmissable species, with males boasting spectacular fiery orange plumage, contrasting with a vibrant green head. It is endemic to the Fijian islands, making it a star attraction.
Where to spot
Endemic to the larger islands of Fiji, including Viti Levu, Vanua Levu, Taveuni, and Ovalau, inhabiting primary and secondary forests.
How to spot
Males are easily identified by their brilliant orange plumage; females are green and more challenging. Look for bright splashes of color in the forest canopy. Listen for its distinct 'cluck-cluck-cluck' call.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often most visible when feeding on fruits in the mid to upper canopy.

The male Orange Dove's plumage is so intensely colored that it appears almost artificial. Females are primarily dark green, a striking example of sexual dimorphism.
