5825. PHOTOGRAPHY BIRDS: Rose-crowned fruit pigeon. Use TV (shuttle priority).

 14 Apr 2024.

PHOTOGRAPHY OF BIRDS. Sometimes, birds are too far away or they fly off if you go too near them. They need a safe distance from people.

This rose-crowned fruit dove or pink-capped fruit dove (Ptilinopus regina) in Bird Paradise was photographed perched on a tree near to the feed bowl of fruits. Two bigger birds were on the feed bowl and so he got to wait for them to go away as one would step into the fruits and the other would peck at him. He was the smallest size of 3 birds I saw.

Focus on eye.
Canon R5, TV, 105mm, 1/800sec, f/4.5, ISO 320
