Nature has gifted the mankind with tremendous creations which give him meditation and philosophizing comfort. One of these gorgeous gifts of nature is the Victoria Crowned Pigeon ( Goura Victoria ) which is a unique pigeon for its adorable and distinctive blue colored crest with white and lacy ideas. Vivtoria Crowned Pigeon has a dark blue plumage with purple brown breast. Victoria Crowned Pigeon is regarded as massive species in pigeon on typical 74 cm (29 in) long and weighs 2,384 grams (five.three lbs).
The male and female Victoria Crowned Pigeon look alike and there could be a marginal distinction amongst the both sexes in the size. Victoria Crowned Pigeons usually are seen in tiny flocks or in pairs and devote most of their time on ground. The all-natural habitat of the Victoria Crowned Pigeon is the lowland and swamp forests of northern New Guinea and surrounding islands. The Victoria Crowned Pigeons spread and flutter their wings in aggression and in danger.
The Victoria Crowned Pigeons build their nests with small sticks and leaves. The female Victoria Crowned Pigeon lays a single egg in the breeding season and the pair hatches the same egg for about 30 days. The chick is also brought up and fed by both the male and female Victoria Crowned Pigeon. The Victoria Crowned Pigeon is enlisted as vulnerable species in the red list of IUCN and this fantastic bird is in permanent danger due to continuous habitat destruction and hunting.
