Victoria Crowned Pigeon

The Victoria Crowned Pigeon is known for the attractive feathers on its head. The numbers are decreasing so rapidly that this bird could go extinct anytime soon because their lovely feathers are highly prized by people and also being caught as pets.
They live in the forest of New Guinea, located to the north of Australia. They eat fruits and seeds of plants that have fallen on the ground. The Victoria Crowned Pigeon mostly lives on the ground. However unlike the kiwi and crake, they are able to fly.
