Ptilinopus magnificus
The Wompoo Fruit-Dove is a big rainforest pigeon. It has a green back, yellow belly, grey head and purple throat and breast. It feeds on fruit in the tops of trees.
For such a big bird it builds a tiny nest of twigs for its one white egg. The seeds in the fruit eaten by the Wompoo Fruit-Dove are spread a long way in the dove's droppings so more fruit trees can grow.
