Torresian Imperial Pigeon

Bird name: Torresian Imperial Pigeon
Latin: Ducula spilorrhoa
Other:
Family: Columbidae • Pigeons

These Torresian Imperial Pigeons were photographed in Perth, Australia - not their usual habitat. Presumably they are therefore either escaped or captive - one appears to have been ringed. They are endemic to the northern, tropical regions of Australia.
