  1. I will refrain from caption suggestions on this one :)

    Nevertheless, great photo, and again you live up to your reputation of being a specie introducer. I see you earned the most valuable medal of "Pioneer" already. You're breaking records here!

The crested pigeon is a bird found widely throughout mainland Australia except for the far northern tropical areas. Only two Australian pigeon species possess an erect crest, the crested pigeon and the spinifex pigeon. The crested pigeon is the larger of the two species.
