Description
With a total length of 13–15 cm, it is the shortest pigeon or dove in the world, but as it is relatively thickset, several other species weigh less. Its plumage is overall green, but with contrasting yellow undertail-coverts and narrow bars to the wings. Unlike the female, the male has a purple patch on the belly.

Feeding Habits
Dwarf Fruit Dove primarily feed on figs and possibly nectar. Their limited diet, observed near Port Moresby, suggests a specialization in certain fruits, with a noted preference for figs from the Moraceae family.
Habitat
The dwarf Fruit Dove is primarily found in forest environments, frequenting areas abundant with fruiting trees. Its natural habitat extends to forest clearings and regions that are partially deforested, where such trees are available. This species typically resides in lowland forests and hilly terrains, often occupying habitats where forest and open areas intersect, with a preference for lush, vegetative regions that support its frugivorous diet.
