The Crested Dove, also called the Australian Dove or Crested Pigeon, is a striking bird that adds beauty and character to any aviary. Both males and females display similar coloring, with a smooth gray crest made up of long, elegant feathers. Their face, neck, and underparts feature soft pale-gray tones, while the sides of the neck show a subtle salmon-pink shade. The wings reflect attractive purple and pink highlights, and the graceful gray tail is finished with a clean white tip. Bright orange eyes surrounded by a vivid red orbital ring complete the Crested Dove’s distinctive and captivating appearance.
