Behavior
It is presumably a frugivorous species. It is normally quiet, and has been described to emit deep, soft oohoo calls. It also emits odd growling calls. It usually quietly forages alone or in pairs, in forest canopies.
Species Status
Since 1988, the scarlet-breasted fruit dove has been rated as a species of least concern on the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species. This is because although it has a restricted range, the range size is more than 20,000 km (7,700 mi) with a stable population trend. In addition, although its population numbers have not been determined, it is thought to be above 10,000, which does not meet the criterion to warrant a vulnerable rating. The species is described as "uncommon to moderately common", and there is no evidence of major threat to their population.
