The Wompoo Fruit Dove (Ptilinopus magnificus) is a stunning rainforest pigeon and the largest of Australia’s fruit doves, measuring between 35 and 45 cm in length, with individuals in southern populations reaching up to around 50 cm. It displays spectacular plumage: a royal purple throat and upper belly, bright yellow lower belly and underwings, vivid green upperparts, a pale grey head, and a striking yellow wing bar. This bird is often heard rather than seen, foraging quietly among fruit-laden branches high in the rainforest canopy. Its name comes from its distinctive, resonant “wompoo” call. Wompoo Fruit Doves feed on a variety of rainforest fruits, swallowing them whole and acrobatically plucking them from vines and branches. When food is abundant, they may gather in sizeable feeding flocks. Breeding pairs build a simple twig nest, usually placed low in trees. Both parents share incubation of a single white egg and care for the chick, sometimes attempting a second breeding if the first fails. The species is classified as Least Concern, though habitat loss remains a potential threat.
