About the White-crowned Pigeon
The White-crowned Pigeon is a large species of pigeon that lives in parts of the Caribbean and Central America. It is also found in parts of Florida in the United States, including the Florida Keys.
Adult White-crowned Pigeons have dark grey bodies with bright white crowns. These sweet birds feed on fruits and berries. They may also take insects, including bees, in their diet.
The White-crowned Pigeon is threatened. Two major threats they face are loss of feeding habitat and illegal hunting, especially in the Bahamas.
