Nature and beauty are some things we humans get attracted towards. Nature’s beauty always touches our hearts so gently. Mother nature has many valuable expressions like rivers, waterfalls, mountains, trees, animals, oceans and even the simple tiniest creatures that can touch our heart. When wondering about the creations of nature this bluish-gray large pigeon takes our attraction. This bird known as The Victoria Crowned Pigeon has a blue lace-like elegant chest, maroon breast and irises which are red.
More info: The Virginia Zoo

These blue pigeons can be found as pairs or as small groups searching for food around the lowlands and swamp forests of Northern New Guinea and also in the surrounding islands. They move along the forest floor in a restless walk.

Although these birds are ground birds, they fly directly into the large horizontal branches or to the canopy of large trees in the forest when they are disturbed. They engage in contact calls and flicking their tails for a certain time after they are disturbed.

These rare pigeons are nearly threatened due to the loss of habitats by deforestation and also they are wildly hunted to get their feathers and meat.

Just like other animals these Victoria Crowned Pigeons too have a unique expression when they are young.

They glance directly into our hearts through their mesmerizing red iris.
