This amazing White-headed Pigeon is a rare rainforest native, who has not read the bird books. It is normally found in pairs or groups of up to 14 birds eating the fruits of the rainforest trees.
This little fellow popped into our seed feeders this afternoon and was not at all shy, allowing us to get really close for some great photos.
Along with our normal family of Rainbow Lorikeets, it is so exciting to have another new species in the garden. I guess it helps that we have planted over 300 native trees in the past four years.

Wonderful! I guess having the native trees certainly must help plus the fact that all the other birds are comfortable in your garden, familiar with your routine and food that you put out for them; that must certainly help. I also wonder if it's not a fugitive from some of the very bad weather further north. Lovely sighting. Hope it comes back?
