Wildlife: Pigeons and Doves

Pigeons and Doves at Middle Path





Emerald Dove ~ Chalcophaps indica

A single Emerald Dove calmly surveys the scene - an infrequent visitor more at home in the forest.


This plump visitor would frequently contest the back porch with us - sidling up to our feet and battering at them with its wing.

Able to utter a high-pitched "beep-beep-beep" sound interminably, it had us searching the area for a reversing delivery van before we realised what was making the noise.


Wonga Pigeon ~ Leucosarcia melanoleuca


White-headed Pigeon ~ Columba leucomela

A frequent flyer of the afternoon feeding pageant, the White-headed pigeons always create a great presence and, at times, fiercely dispute the other species pecking orders.


These common bronzewings are a regular visitor and are gentle enough to feed side by side with the firetails without alarming them.


A Bronzewing Pigeon ~ Phaps chalcoptera


Brown Cuckoo Dove ~ Macropygia amboinensis

A late afternoon shot of a Brown Cuckoo Dove seems to have captured the ethereal glow of a Middle Path evening

keeping a wary eye on the camera

A common visitor, a crested pigeon - Ocyphaps lophotes - enjoying an early version of the bird feeders while keeping a wary eye on the camera.


A rare glimpse of the crested pigeon factory in full swing - apparently to the amazement of a rival!
