Victoria Crowned Pigeon

One from the Spring, taken in Bird World Farnham.
The Victoria Crowned Pigeon (Goura victoria) is the largest species of pigeon, native to the lowland and swamp forests of Northern New Guinea and its neighboring islands. It is known for its striking appearance, featuring vivid blue and purple feathers, a maroon breast, and elegant lace-like crests on its head. These pigeons prefer moist, low-lying areas near rivers and wetlands, and they are somewhat social, often living in small groups of 2-10 individuals. Named in honor of Queen Victoria, they are recognized for their unique beauty and size, weighing up to 7 pounds and measuring over 2 feet in length.
