Red-billed Pigeon

Patagioenas flavirostris

The Red-billed Pigeon (Patagioenas flavirostris) is a medium-sized pigeon species found in Central and South America. It is characterized by its striking red bill and iridescent green and purple plumage on its neck and upperparts. This pigeon species is typically found in humid tropical forests, where it forages for fruits and seeds in the canopy. The Red-billed Pigeon is known for its distinctive cooing call, often heard echoing through the forest. While not currently considered globally threatened, habitat loss and hunting pose localized threats to this species.
