The Grey-throated Fruit-dove (Ptilinopus greyi) is a relatively widespread fruit-dove found across Vanuatu, New Caledonia, and parts of the Solomon Islands. It is characterized by its distinctive grey throat patch and vibrant green plumage.
Where to spot
Inhabits tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, often found in coastal and lowland areas across its range, including Vanuatu, New Caledonia, and some Solomon Islands.
How to spot
Look for its grey throat and vibrant green body in the mid to upper canopy. Listen for its characteristic soft cooing calls, which can often lead you to its location.
When to spot
Active year-round, typically most visible when feeding on fruiting trees, particularly during the morning and late afternoon.

Like many other fruit-doves, its diet consists almost entirely of fruits, making it a critical disperser of seeds, contributing to the biodiversity and regeneration of its island forest habitats.
