Description
I absolutely adore this bird, however, I unfortunately am unable to remember what species it is. It has the most vibrant plumage I've seen on a bird ever, which really isn't actually saying that much…If anyone can tell me what kind of bird this is, I will be incredibly appreciative, and also award the person 10 points for letting me know (yes! I know I'm sort of cheap, but I really don't have many points to begin with!). Thanks!
…Later that day…
Thanks to meihua I have discovered the species is a Nicobar Pigeon. Thanks so much for the help!

Once again, it's the exotic bird that caught my eye. The composition is very good, as is the focus - I love all those different shades of green in its plumes.

Neither are mine! These birds are incredibly rare though and very few live in captivity. Apparently they only reside in the Nicobar Islands. (:

Fabulous shot of such a beautiful bird! I've been lucky to have seen these guys at the Toronto Zoo. There's so few of them in captivity apparently.

Really? Do you know how few there are, by chance?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think there's something like three hundred. Not as rare as I thought but still relatively rare.

Wow, that sounds pretty rare if you consider that that's throughout the entire world.

Nicobar PIDGEON?! Wow... Wish we had more of these guys roaming around the block, they're gorgeous! ^_^

I know, right? I think I would be freaking out, taking pictures every day if I could find them just flyin' around on a daily basis. They're fairly exotic though...they're only found on the Nicobar Islands. Shame. :/
