Have You Heard About The Blue Crowned Pigeon Before?

This Pigeon is not as traditional as we know, but looks closer to a fictional creature from the story of the Thousand and One Nights 

It's the blue crowned pigeon. This blue crowned pigeon characterized by amazing different blue tones , and there are feathers in the form of a crown above its head like a crowned Queen!! 

We will see in this post some of the photos took of this wonderful bird with some information about it:

Crowned blue pigeon live in only one place in the world in the low land forests of New Guinea island of South West Pacific. It is also one of the threatened species. The crowned blue pigeon is one of the largest types of pigeons, approximately the size of turkeys, and up to 70 cm in length and weighs 2 kg. 

Difficult to differentiate between male and female in this type because of the similarity of the two external shape, but the male is usually slightly larger than the female. You will note that the blue crowned pigeon has feathers dark blue around its eyes gives it a very beautiful look!

This family of pigeons have several types such as the blue crowned pigeons which you saw its photos above, which known as the Crested Western Pigeon ,and there is another kind of crowned South Pigeon of a similar but much dark red feathers in the chest area.

For this family type there is more beautiful which is the crowned Victoria pigeon which I did not see it but unfortunately this is one of its photos via Flickr
