Day 336/18. Eastern Superb Fruit Dove

The Superb Fruit-dove is a small pigeon, approximately 24 cm in length. The male is brightly coloured, with golden-green upperparts, a brilliant orange-vermilion neck, and a rich purple crown. The female is a dull green all over.
This one is a new arrival at Marwell Zoo in Hampshire, UK. I don't think I have ever seen such a brightly coloured bird.
The Superb Fruit-dove occurs principally from north-eastern in Queensland to north-eastern NSW in Australia.
Inhabits rainforest and similar closed forests where it forages high in the canopy, eating the fruits of many tree species such as figs and palms.
