Mariana Fruit Dove
The Mariana Fruit Dove is a small, colorful bird native to the Mariana Islands in the western Pacific Ocean. It is known for its vibrant plumage, which includes shades of green, yellow, and red. This species primarily feeds on fruits, making it an important part of its ecosystem by aiding in seed dispersal.
These doves inhabit tropical forests and are often found in the canopy. The Mariana Fruit Dove is considered vulnerable due to habitat loss and predation by introduced species. Conservation efforts are underway to protect its remaining populations and natural habitats in the Mariana Islands.
