The Bronze-naped Pigeon is a medium-sized forest pigeon known for its iridescent plumage and distinctive nape. It typically inhabits the canopy of dense tropical forests.
Where to spot
Primarily found in the tropical rainforests of Central Africa, including countries like Angola, Cameroon, Congo, and Uganda.
How to spot
Look for them high in the forest canopy, often foraging for fruit. Listen for their distinctive deep cooing calls. Binoculars are essential for detailed views of their iridescent neck.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often heard cooing in the early morning or late afternoon. Best observed during the breeding season when they are more vocal and conspicuous.
Its striking iridescent nape feathers can appear bronze, green, or purple depending on the angle of light, making it a truly beautiful and variable sight.
