Geelvink Fruit Dove One of the most beautiful fruit dove species on the planet. Here we have a pair with the male being more colorful than the female. The female does not need these bright colours as it will be sitting on eggs on the nest in the open. It has to blend in to avoid threats from raptors and such.
