Superb fruit dove — size comparison — facts and sources

The superb fruit dove uses tropical forests and woodland, including mangroves. It gathers ripe fruit in the canopy, moving to places where food is currently available. Such movements can disperse seeds beyond the original feeding site.

Pairs rear young in small twig nests. Both parents participate in care. Chicks initially receive crop milk, after which parents gradually provide increasing amounts of plant food.
