Description
The pheasant pigeon (Otidiphaps nobilis) is a species of large terrestrial pigeon. This pigeon is found in the primary rainforests of New Guinea and nearby islands. It ranges primarily over hilly and lower mountain areas, but can also be found in lowlands.
The pheasant pigeon resembles a pheasant in external morphology, particularly in its laterally compressed tail and the rounded wings. No birds occur in New Guinea, and the pheasant pigeon has filled the ecological niche of a partridge or small pheasant, while the larger Goura crowned pigeons have a lifestyle similar to larger pheasants, grouse or turkeys. It is a highly secretive species, feeding on seeds and fallen fruits. The birds nest on the ground below trees and bushes, laying one egg that it incubates for around four weeks.
The green-naped pheasant pigeon and the grey-naped pheasant pigeon are not considered threatened, although the black-naped pheasant pigeon is considered endangered and the white-naped pheasant pigeon is vulnerable.
Some digital effects were applied to this original image after the photograph was made. No electrons were harmed during the transition. Ordered images will not contain the FAA watermark.
