Spotted
The Southern Crowned Pigeon is one of the four magnificent crowned pigeon species from New Guinea, distinguished by its blue-grey body, rich maroon chest, and an elaborate blue crest tipped with white.
Where to spot
Found in the lowland rainforests, sago palm swamps, and flooded forests of southeastern New Guinea. It prefers undisturbed primary forest with a dense understory.
How to spot
Look for these large, terrestrial pigeons walking deliberately on the ground, often in pairs or small family groups. They are generally shy, so a quiet and patient approach is essential. Their deep 'hoo-hoo-hoo' calls are a good way to locate them.
When to spot
Active during the day, foraging on the forest floor for fallen fruits, seeds, and small invertebrates. Observation is often best during early morning or late afternoon when they are most active.

Its unique, lacy crest, which gives it its 'crowned' name, is made of delicate, wire-like feathers that are a sight to behold.
