Flock Bronzewing

Phaps histrionica

The Flock Bronzewing is a medium-sized pigeon species native to Australia. It is characterized by its striking plumage, with a combination of bronze, green, and purple hues on its back and wings, and a distinct white patch on its face. These birds are typically found in open woodlands, scrublands, and grassy areas, where they forage for seeds and grains on the ground. Flock Bronzewings are known for their distinctive cooing calls and are often observed in small flocks. While their population is currently stable, habitat loss and predation by introduced species pose potential threats to their long-term survival.
