Spotted
The Yellowish Imperial-Pigeon is a large and distinct species found in New Guinea and surrounding islands. It is characterized by its pale yellowish underparts, which stand out against its darker upperparts.
Where to spot
Endemic to New Guinea and a few nearby islands (e.g., Aru Islands). It primarily inhabits lowland rainforests, gallery forests along rivers, and swamp forests, often near water bodies.
How to spot
Look for its large size and the characteristic pale yellowish wash on its underparts, which distinguishes it from other dark imperial pigeons in its range. Its calls are deep and booming, often heard from within dense foliage.
When to spot
Active during the day, often observed feeding quietly in the canopy or flying purposefully across open areas. It is a resident species within its range.
This species is often found in close association with fruiting trees along riverine habitats and swamp forests, highlighting its reliance on specific food sources within these ecosystems.
