The Pink-bellied Imperial-Pigeon (Ducula poliocephala) is a large, striking pigeon endemic to the Philippines. It is characterized by its iridescent green upperparts, grey head, and a distinctive pinkish-brown belly.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Philippines, found across most major islands. Inhabits lowland and montane forests, from sea level up to 1,500 meters, preferring primary or mature secondary forests.
How to spot
Scan the canopy of large fruiting trees, especially fig trees, where they often feed. Their large size makes them easier to spot than smaller pigeons. Look for movement or listen for their deep, resonant coos echoing through the forest.
When to spot
Active throughout the year. Best observed during early mornings and late afternoons when they are most actively feeding. Look for them during the dry season when fruit trees are more predictable.

This pigeon is highly arboreal and rarely descends to the ground, spending most of its life foraging for fruits in the upper canopy of tropical forests.
