Here is a Nicobar Pigeon that I found in Taronga Park zoo last time I was there. I had never seen one before and was blown away by the colours and that crazy growth on his beak. They seem to be a ground dwelling Dove and originate from the South East Asian islands.

We get to see all the wonderful colors from this perspective and his head is turned just right to see the protuberance above his beak. Nice capture! What a splendid array of colors he is.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

I'm in and out of here a lot but don't have time to leave many messages. So, know that i enjoy your work and have a happy day ;) Anita
Another top-notch capture from your camera to my eyes Robert! I love the unique colors that this pigeon possesses! It almost looks fluorescent! Actually, everything about your feathered friend is unique up to the tip of his nose! :)
Your capture is spot on with the composition, color, clarity and your usual high quality. Thank you for sharing this beauty with me. He will look soooo pretty sitting on my desktop! ;=)

A beautiful bird and some great colors. Very nicely done. Is he related to Pierre?

He is really pretty... Except for his eye: that is an eye of an eagle, and I think he's looking at you. If I were you i wouldn't come any closer! :)

If all pigeons looked like this they would be more popular. What an excellent crisp clear photograph of this unusual bird. You captured him in the best possible position to show off his beautiful feathers and the odd bump on his beak.

Wonderful capture Robert. The commented above have said it all so I wont 'Duplicate' :)

I never realized that a pigeon could be such a beauty. Love the details showing his gorgeous wings up close - and those colorful speckled feet and legs. His iridescent bright blue and green colours are splendid to see. I like the simple white border, as that is all he needs. Makes a great desktop beauty. Thanks Robert, for more fine work :))

I need to catch up on things so can't comment too much. But I love all of your fine images. I might be lurking in the background :)

Wonderful clarity and I think his pose is perfect. I am amazed at those wonderful colours.
Fantastic work, I shall save this one :)
Is it an Australian native?

Thank you Eve. I don’t think that they are Australian natives but I’m not sure either.

Mercy. Look at the detail and colors on his back. You really nailed that one. What camera and lens do you use? That is one beautiful bird. I'm still waiting for National Geo to come by and scoop you up.

Amazing pin sharp focus and the pigeon itself is incredible. Have never seen such kind before. Would like to ask you about camera settings as usual.

Interesting bird with lovely colors. The face isn't that pretty but I guess the lady birds like it. Good capture.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

All my bird books and all my bird studying - and here I have NEVER even heard of, let alone seen one of these! I can't thank you enough for sharing this! The clarity you have on the feather details is amzing! Now I have to do some research! Thank you for astounding me!

A fantastic photo of a very strange looking bird. I agree with Pat, this should be in a magazine. Very well done...Gregg.

Hi Robert, I see others are now realising you should be 'in print':o) I hope you soon find an outlet for your magnificent photos. This one is no exception again providing both a great composition and being technically superb. I'd love to have one of these on my bird table instead of the dowdy Wood Pigeon;o)
Cheers,
Steve.
