 Another type of Bronzewings, ground-feeding pigeons, is the Spinifex Dove. You see it's very well camouflaged, it absolutely looks like the ground it lives on. Sure they can fly, but they prefer to walk on the ground as this is where they find their food: seeds, most of them certainly seeds of the Spinifex grass they're named after. The picture was takes next Devil's Marbles. Also see Crested Pigeon, the other Bronzewing I found. |
