Victoria crowned pigeon, also known as Goura Victoria, this big, bluish-grey pigeon has beautiful blue lace-like crests, a maroon breast, and crimson irises on its head and eyes. It is one of four ground-dwelling pigeons belonging to a genus (Goura) peculiar to the New Guinea area and is extremely big. • The bird’s distinctive white points on its crests, as well as the loud ‘whooping’ noises it makes while calling, make it easy to identify in the wild. It was given its name in honor of the British queen Queen Victoria. • In color, the Victoria crowned pigeon is a deep blue-grey with a small black mask on its head. Its feather crest (which, apart from its size, is the distinguishing characteristic of crowned pigeons) is noticeably white-tipped. On the undersides of the wing coverts, a row of feathers is a lighter blue-gray with red ends. These come together to create a unique wing bar. • The hue of the chest is a rich purple maroon. Melanism has been found in all crowned pigeons, including these particular ones. • The other two crowned pigeons are outwardly similar to the Victoria species, but only the western crowned pigeon’s distribution coincides with that of the Victoria species. The Steelmaker's crested pigeon, on the other hand, does not. • ‪@thepoultryhub‬
