Pacific Imperial Pigeon

Ducula oceanica

The Pacific Imperial Pigeon, scientifically known as Ducula oceanica, is a large, stocky pigeon species found in the Pacific islands. It has a distinctive white head, neck, and underparts, with a dark gray back and wings. The species is known for its deep, resonant calls that echo through the forests where it resides. Pacific Imperial Pigeons primarily feed on fruits and seeds, and they play an important role in seed dispersal within their island habitats. These pigeons are often found in lowland forests and coastal areas, and they are known for their strong flight capabilities. While their populations are currently stable, habitat loss and hunting pose potential threats to their long-term survival.

Habitat: Lowland forests and coastal areas
