The Rose-crowned Fruit-dove (Ptilinopus regina) is a widespread and strikingly colored fruit-dove known for its vibrant plumage. It is found across northern and eastern Australia and parts of the Indo-Malayan Archipelago, exhibiting several subspecies variations.
Where to spot
Inhabits rainforests, monsoon forests, and dense woodlands, typically in coastal and near-coastal regions of northern and eastern Australia, as well as parts of Indonesia and New Guinea.
How to spot
Scan fruit-bearing trees for its distinctive green, grey, and rose-colored plumage. Listen for its low, mournful cooing calls, which are a good indicator of its presence.
When to spot
Active year-round, often best seen feeding quietly in the canopy during early morning and late afternoon when fruits are abundant.
