Torresian Imperial Pigeon

Syma torotoro

The Torresian Imperial Pigeon, scientific name Syma torotoro, is a large pigeon species found in the northern regions of Australia, New Guinea, and nearby islands. These pigeons have a distinct appearance with a white head, neck, and underparts, contrasted by dark grey upperparts and a broad white band across the wings. They are known for their deep, resonant calls that echo through the tropical forests where they reside. Torresian Imperial Pigeons primarily feed on fruits and seeds, playing a crucial role in seed dispersal within their habitat. They are often observed in pairs or small flocks, foraging in the canopy of rainforests and coastal woodlands.
