Description
The pied imperial pigeon (Ducula bicolor) is a relatively large, pied species of pigeon. It is found in forest, woodland, mangrove, plantations and scrub in Southeast Asia, ranging from Myanmar and Thailand, throughout Indonesia and east to the Philippines (where it is locally called as balud-puti) and the Bird's Head Peninsula in New Guinea. It is mainly found on small islands and in coastal regions. It remains locally common, and is therefore considered to be of least concern by BirdLife International and IUCN.

Feeding Habits
Pied Imperial Pigeon, primarily frugivorous, consumes a wide gamut of fruits and seeds. It forages in the canopy, showing preference for fruits of native tree species. These pigeons display no notable unique dietary adaptations but contribute greatly to seed dispersal.
Habitat
Pied Imperial Pigeon thrives in tropical coastal and insular regions, such as dense rainforests, eucalyptus woodlands, and mangroves. These birds seek habitats near water sources and have adapted to human-modified areas like coconut plantations. They generally nest on small offshore islands and forage in mainland coastal areas and larger islands up to 1100 meters in elevation.
