Fruit doves are a group of colorful birds belonging to the family Columbidae, primarily found in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and Australia. They are known for their vibrant plumage, which often includes shades of green, blue, and purple. These doves primarily feed on fruits, seeds, and berries, making them important seed dispersers in their ecosystems. These birds are typically small to medium-sized, with a gentle and shy demeanor. Fruit doves prefer dense forests and are often seen perched on tree branches. Their soft cooing calls can be heard in their natural habitats, contributing to the rich soundscape of tropical forests.
