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, blue, and purple. This dove primarily feeds on fruits, making it an important seed disperser in its habitat.
These birds prefer forested areas and are often found in the canopy. The Mariana fruit dove is a relatively shy species, usually seen alone or in pairs. Due to habitat loss and hunting, its population is declining, leading to conservation efforts to protect this unique bird and its environment.
