Rose-Crowned Fruit Dove

  • It is a small, compact dove, with a short tail and rounded wings
  • Its name comes from the deep pink cap or forehead, which is bordered behind by a narrow yellow stripe. The upper body is bright green and the under-body orange and yellow with a rose-coloured patch
  • When glimpsed in flight, it is often mistaken for a parrot due to its bright colouration
  • Rose-Crowned Fruit Doves feed high in the canopy of various trees. They swallow fruit whole and particularly like figs and the fruit of other species of rainforest trees,
    palms and vines
  • They take water from leaves or from dew, not from the ground
