Meet the real Pink Pigeon

Nesoenas mayeri

Pink Pigeon carries Soft Recovery as island gentleness restored, showing how a fragile-looking forest bird can return when protection gives softness room to live.

How to recognize it

Soft pink-gray plumage gives the pigeon a gentle look
Island forest recovery depends on restored native trees
Pairs feed chicks with crop milk like other pigeons

Diet: They eat fruits, seeds, leaves, flowers, and buds from native plants.
Lifespan: They can live for many years, especially in managed conservation settings. Longevity allows a recovered population to rebuild slowly.
Predators and threats: Rats, cats, monkeys, disease, habitat loss, and invasive plants threaten them. Gentle recovery needs active protection, not just hope.
