Bar-shouldered Dove |
The beautiful Bar-shouldered Dove is found in eastern and northern coastal parts of Australia where there is suitable habitat.
Their preferred habitats include vegetation near water, mangroves, tropical and sub-tropical scrubs, gullies and gorges, near swamps, plantations and gardens with plenty of trees. They are sometimes found on off-shore islands.
This is one species I have yet to see in the natural environment. The photos in today's post were taken in one of the walk-through aviaries in the world renowned Adelaide Zoo.
You can read more about Australian birds and see more photos of them on another site I write for called Trevor's Birding.
