The Victoria crowned pigeon is not one of my favorite birds, but it can be a great subject.

Dorothy (lower) are Teddy are a bonded pair. I have seen them multiple times sort of building a nest on this spot. October 22, 2020.

Teddy brings nest material to Dorothy. Sometimes it's just a long, skinny leaf. He drops it, and it falls to the ground. Here, Dorothy seems to accept a stick, but it will fall, too. January 25, 2021.

They have successfully nested at least once, because this is their son.

The handsome fellow. He was standing as above, and I spotted him from a different angle though a gap in the foliage.

Good shots Steve. Good view between the foliage.
