Artist's Description
I took this at the Capron Park Zoo in Attleboro, MA. The birds were free to roam around in this indoor tropical room. What an amazing bird! I had never seen one before!
At nearly 30 inches long, Victoria Crowned Pigeons are the largest surviving pigeon in the world. Unlike most pigeons, crowned pigeons do not ‘coo’. Instead they make loud, deep booming noises that travel far through the lowland forest they inhabit.
These gregarious birds form large flocks, like all pigeons do. Flocks stay together feeding and roosting in the same tree. Often, the forest echoes with their deep booming calls as flock members ‘talk’ to one another.
The beautiful crown has made these birds a target for native hunters for centuries. More recently, loggers have hunted the Victoria Crowned Pigeon for food. When frightened, flocks seek the trees, but tend to roost on low-lying branches, making them easy targets for hunters. Strict laws now protect Victoria Crowned-Pigeons.
About Linda Howes
I am so in love with Photographing nature, animals and bugs! It just makes me happy! I have really taken to macro photography; it's like finding a whole new tiny world. While my main focus is on nature and the outdoors, I have been stretching my creative wings and have developed some creative photography that you won't see anywhere else. I keep my photos as natural as I can. Other than adding a tint of color occasionally, or softening for a dreamy look, I just do normal editing. I want to be judged on my photography skills not my computer skills. I have now added vintage and historic photos, vintage maps, famous paintings, magazine covers, advertisements historic events, war photos, and so much more! I just love sharing pieces of...

Big hair to be sure. The colors create a lovely subtle mood. Native hunters understand sustainability. Loggers, not so much. Strict laws needed.
