Description

We found two fairly complete piles of wonga pigeon feathers and one crimson rosella pile in close proximity on a high ridge top.
Photo 1 - Wonga pigeon under tail coverts.
Photo 2 - Wonga pigeon wing and tail feathers.
Photo 3 - Wonga pigeon belly feathers.
Despite these depredations the wonga pigeon population is still booming. (Pun intended I'm afraid.) We saw two extant pairs on our walk across the property.
