Strutting in as our next bird; the Nicobar pigeon.
The nicobar pigeon (Caloenas nicobarica) is a pretty good sized pigeon from India! The bird, while known for its fantastic, beaming rainbow iridescent feathers is also known for being the closest living relative of the dodo (yes, the dodo was a pigeon!) and also near threatened. It is also the only living member in its genus. Amazing!
Watch the film. See the maps. Read the documents. Add your name to protect Great Nicobar.

Enjoyed watching these two nest-building. --Steve
What kind of birds are these? They are Nicobar pigeons. In addition to being beautiful, they are the closest surviving relative of the long-gone dodo. Let’s hope Nicobar pigeons have a better fate.

From the Nicobar Islands of Malaysia pretty iridescent feathering. I’ve just started 23 weeks of intense docent classes at the Los Angeles Zoo, so I’ll be posting stuff from my time at the Zoo between now and April. :)
