Pigeons and Doves of Australia. A Documentary

Filming wild birds is always a challenge. To catch the metallic glow of a pigeon as the wings turn in the sun is often more luck than patience. This video is an update to "Columbidae of Australia" with more video shots and species than before.

Wow! I didn't know Australia had that much diversity in doves

Can't understand why such a video has so few likes, even fewer comments. It's so splendid.

Wonderful stuff and such underrated birds! Your channel deserves way more love and attention. Keep it up!

Fabulous video. I love how many beautiful doves and pigeons Australia has. I'm actually an ex-pat Kiwi now living in Canada (for many decades), and have never been to Australia. I think God had a "funny" day when He created Australian mammals, but He sure went all out on beautiful birds. Thank you for this video. I love your indepth explanations of the genus and species names. The one thing I'd suggest, is maybe a little less plinkety music with the video. But the videography and pictures are beautiful. and the sounds of Aussie birds in the background, and all the amazing info.

Just seen a peaceful Dove on the Gib(Mount Gibraltar) Mittagong lookout. First time seeing one. Beautiful little bird.

All my life I've been seeing crested pigeons and white-headed pigeons in the environment here in north-eastern New South Wales. I think I've learned more about them in the last half hour than in all that time previously.

Beatiful wild pigeons you have there in Australia. They are larger and healthy propagators too of fruit seeds. Thank you.❤

I adore this channel.. the information is presented in a way that is so easy to understand and makes for such a relaxing watch whilst still learning interesting behaviors of the birds. My favorite for this video would have to be that they dont need gravity to drink... so interesting!

[risehall]

So interesting!!! I'm watching a pair nesting on my deck. Fun
