Nicobar Pigeon
Caloenas nicobarica
Nicobar pigeons live in coastal forests and on small islands across the eastern Indian Ocean and western Pacific. Adults forage mainly on fallen fruits, seeds, and nuts, often walking over the forest floor beneath dense vegetation. They make strong flights between islands and can travel far to reach feeding and nesting sites. Their long neck hackles and gleaming green-and-bronze plumage make them one of the most striking pigeons in the world.
