Bleeding heart dove

thanks, keith. i thought they were just chubby little pigeons until i saw the flash of crimson. after that, i was captivated

Dont take this the wrong way, but if I saw the bird i'd think it was actually bleeding and injured it looks so real! Amazing bird!

I'm not sure, Saarbrigger, as this one was at a zoo. Apparently, Australia has a breeding programme to boost the threatened population

Lovely little bird. Can it be found in the wilde in Australia too?

You're wlecome Imdang. Glad to see that Australia is helping out in the preservation of this wonderful bird :-)

Thanks, Eric

Hi Lian, IUCN Red List status for the Luzon Bleeding Heart is Near Threatened while another, the Mindoro Bleeding Heart found only in the island of Mindoro also in the Philippines is listed as Critically Endangered.

Hi Liam, I don't know much about them but according to another spotter, they are endangered http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/663...

Nice! These are endangered?
