Royal 'Victoria Crown Pigeon' Is the World's Biggest and Most Attractive Pigeon (Photo Gallery)

These sociable birds prefer to travel in couples or groups when foraging for food. Unless disturbed, they'll wander along the forest floor picking fruit. Then, when they fly up into the trees for protection they'll create a loud clapping noise. Victoria crowned pigeons are becoming increasingly uncommon in the natural, owing to their beauty which makes them the most popular crowned species in captivity.
