Nicobar Pigeon on Nest Sticker

A brightly coloured Nicobar pigeon sitting on its nest. The Nicobar pigeon, the closest relative to the Dodo, can be found on small islands and in coastal regions in the western Pacific region. It is a large and boisterous bird. The Nicobar pigeon roams in flocks from island to island, usually sleeping on offshore islets where no predators occur and spends the day in areas with better food availability, not shying away from areas inhabited by humans. Its food consists of seeds, fruit and buds, and it is attracted to areas where grain is available.
