Victorian Crowned Pigeon

Around Ohio

Victorian Crowned Pigeon
This beautiful bird is native to the lowland tropical forests of New Guinea. They are very docile and easy to train and can live up to 25 years. They eat mainly fruits, seeds, grains, and small invertebrates off the ground and are now an endangered species because of the wide popularity of their meat and feathers.

Gorgeous blue. Looks like it's wearing an Indian headdress.

Cute red toes! I guess they match its red eyes:).
