Black-naped Pheasant-pigeon Otidiphaps insularis
Endangered
Location: Papua New Guinea
Black-naped Pheasant-pigeons live in rainforest in the hills from sea-level at at least 1900 m, have pheasant-like in habits and feed on seeds and fallen fruit (del Hoyo et al. 1997, Gibbs et al. 2001).
Forest on Fergusson is relatively intact, however small-scale habitat loss occurs as forest is converted for subsistence agriculture gardens.
Black-naped Pheasant-pigeons are @endangered #birds in #PapuaNewGuinea due to logging and #deforestation for #palmoil in their home. You can support them with your weekly shop #Boycott4Wildlife
