Behavior
Description
The Black-Naped Fruit Doves are vibrant birds have striking green bodies and yellowish bills and irises. Males are especially eye-catching, with a pale gray head, black nape, bright yellow throat, and stunning golden yellow and pink feathers under their tails. In contrast, females and young birds sport entirely green plumage, aiding in camouflage. This colorful distinction not only makes males look impressive, but also helps females blend in, especially while nesting or caring for their young!
