DSCN0973 birds of paradise

Victoria Crowned Pigeons at Poznan Zoological Gardens (Goura Victoria; Koroniec plamoczuby, native to the New Guinea region, flying when necessary). They are the largest pigeon species in the world (bluish-grey with elegant blue lace-like crests, maroon breast, and red eyes). The birds may be easily recognized by the unique white tips on their crests and by their characteristic sounds made while calling.
