Dunedin botanical gardens, home for many wild and caged birds. A beautiful place to have some time out and mingle with nature. The green-winged dove (Chalcophaps indica) is known by a variety of other names such as the emerald dove, green-backed dove or green pigeon. They are found in Australia, India, New Guinea, the Philippines and Sri Lanka living in dense, wet woodlands and rainforests. Green-winged doves are usually found alone or in pairs.
I Gotta Catch The Sun Rays! – Green Wing Dove
As their name suggests, the green-winged dove has bright emerald green wings. The head is pink which fades down to grey to its belly; they have brown eyes and a red bill. Only males have a white patch on the edge of their shoulder and a grey crown. When they fly between patches of forests they are swift and stay low to the ground. They will venture out onto open ground to feed, but if they are disturbed they will usually walk back into the forest undergrowth, however they will take to the air when being pursued.
