The Crested Pigeon, scientifically known as Ocyphaps lophotes, is a stunning bird species that can be found in various regions of Australia. With its distinct crested appearance and beautiful plumage, this pigeon never fails to capture the attention of onlookers. In Victoria, Australia, the Crested Pigeon showcases its unique features while perching gracefully on a branch. Its side view reveals intricate details of its feathers and elegant posture. Similarly, near Ti Tree in the Northern Territory of Australia, these pigeons are spotted multiple times - whether it's resting on a branch or drinking from a pool or waterhole. From Queensland to Western Australia, these birds have made their presence known across different landscapes. They inhabit open woodlands and farmlands throughout much of Australia but avoid dense wet coastal forests. Outback stations and townships also serve as suitable habitats for them. One remarkable sight is witnessing a Crested Pigeon nesting at Mt Barnett along the Gibb River Road in Kimberley, Western Australia. This demonstrates their adaptability to diverse environments within their range. Even in remote areas like Lajamanu—an aboriginal settlement located on the northern edge of the Tanami Desert—the Crested Pigeon thrives among woodlands, shrublands, country towns, roadside trees, farmlands, and stockyards—all while ensuring they remain close to accessible sources of water. With its widespread distribution across most parts of Australia except for Western Australian deserts, the Crested Pigeon has become an iconic symbol representing resilience and adaptability within the avian world Down Under.
