The White-breasted Fruit-dove (Ptilinopus rivoli), also known as Rivoli's Fruit-dove, is a widespread and easily identifiable fruit-dove across New Guinea, the Moluccas, and parts of the Solomon and Bismarck Islands, noted for its bright white breast.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid montane and lowland forests across its wide range, often found at higher elevations than many other fruit-dove species.
How to spot
Its prominent white breast and dark cap are key identification features. Listen for its repeated, deep cooing calls, which are quite characteristic and can help locate them in dense foliage.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often seen feeding on a variety of fruits in the forest canopy. They can be found year-round in their habitat.
