Crested Pigeons - pair wait near a bird feeder for their early morning feed.
Endemic to Australia.
Ocyphaps lophotes
Once found mainly in the more-arid regions of the Australian outback, this species is now expanding its range towards the coast and is a popular inhabitant in many of the larger towns and cities. When startled the birds fly off with a characteristic whistling sound, generated by specially modified primary feathers in each wing. (NOTE: Often erroneously called Topknot Pigeon, but this name belongs to the rainforest species Lopholaimus antarcticus, mainly an arboreal feeder.)

EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Crested Pigeons: A Morning Ritual at the Bird Feeder" This photograph showcases a charming pair of Crested Pigeons (Ocyphaps lophotes) as they patiently wait near a bird feeder for their early morning meal. Once primarily residing in the drier regions of the Australian outback, these birds are now broadening their habitat towards coastal areas and have become a beloved presence in many larger towns and cities. The Crested Pigeon is a unique Australian endemic, easily recognized by the distinctive crest on their heads and the iridescent green and purple sheen on their plumage. When these birds are startled, they take flight with an unforgettable whistling sound produced by their specially adapted primary feathers in each wing. A fascinating fact to note is that they are not to be confused with Topknot Pigeons, as the latter refers to the rainforest species Lopholaimus antarcticus. Eric Lindgren, an accomplished wildlife photographer, captured this moment of tranquility and beauty. For personal display purposes only, this print is not to be reproduced in any form. For more information, please contact Eric Lindgren at web@ardea.com or via telephone at + 44 (0) 20 8672 2067. This photograph is a testament to the captivating diversity of the Australian avian world and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and appreciating the natural wonders that surround us.
