Pink-headed Fruit Dove

Ptilinopus leclancheri

The Pink-headed Fruit Dove, scientifically known as Ptilinopus leclancheri, is a species of bird found in the Philippines. It is characterized by its striking pink head, green back, and purple chest. This medium-sized dove primarily feeds on fruits and is known for its distinctive cooing calls. It inhabits dense forests and wooded areas, where it forages for figs, berries, and other fruits. The species plays a vital role in seed dispersal within its habitat. Due to habitat loss and hunting, the Pink-headed Fruit Dove faces conservation challenges, and its population is declining. Efforts are underway to protect its remaining habitats and raise awareness about its conservation status.
