Macropygia amboinensis

Found all along the east coast of Australia generally on the perimeter of forests, the Brown Cuckoo-dove is around 40-43 cm in length and feeds on a selection of small rainforest fruits. Possessing a rusty body and lengthy tail, the Brown Cuckoo-dove (also referred to as the Brown Pigeon and Pheasant Pigeon) calls with a sharp "whoop whoop" sound.
