Could I request a bleeding-heart dove? They’re some of my favorites! <3
Tumblr media
day 19
today's bird is the luzon bleeding-heart!
- the courtship display of the luzon bleeding-heart involves the male showing the female his "heart" (cute!)
- if their young don't develop their adult plumage in time, the parents will attack and sometimes kill them 😨
- when incubating their eggs, the male takes the day shift and the female takes the night shift

January 13, 2024 - Ecuadorian Ground Dove (Columbina buckleyi) These small doves are found in open woodlands, clearings, gardens, and agricultural areas in northwestern Ecuador and far northern Peru. The details of their diet are unknown, but they likely eat small seeds, like closely related species. They build cup-shaped nests in bushes and trees where females lay clutches of two eggs.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
If you like doves, try this one on for size: the common ground dove is one of the smallest doves in the world! Weighing in at only 26–40 g (0.92–1.41 oz), adults are about the size of a sparrow. As its name implies, it spends most of its time on the ground and only takes flight when directly threatened.

BOTD: Common Ground Dove
Tumblr media
Photo: Doug Greenberg
"Quiet and unobtrusive, the little ground dove walks on the ground in open bushy places in the southern states. If it is startled, it flies up into the brush with a fluttering rattle, showing a short black tail and a flash of rusty-red in the wings. The male may repeat his short cooing song incessantly, even in the heat of the day."
- Audubon Field Guide

Round 1, Poll 15
Blue Nuthatch vs Common Ground Dove
Tumblr media Tumblr media
sources under cut
Blue Nuthatch Propaganda
"Cuties!! I see nuthatches depicted decently often, but never this guy!"
No other nuthatch is patterned quite like this guy! While most nuthatch have a combination of steel blue, white, and rusty rufous feathers, the Blue Nuthatch is the only one to sport a full mask.
Also unique to this species is the ability to protect its eyes by contracting the bare skin around them to help cover them up.
Common Ground Dove Propaganda
"THIS is the ultimate small pigeon. so you look at its photo and looks round and pigeon-like and you think oh okay i guess it's one of the normal species of pigeon, WRONg. google how it looks like when someone holds it in their hand. you would not BELIEVE how impossibly TINY this thing is and i want to hold it so so so badly it has no right to be this smol"
"When males compete for food or mates they may make sharp cooing calls and raise one or both wings, revealing chestnut wing-patches. A courting male follows the female and keeps doing this, sometimes flying after her to stay near."
Their song is often described as sounding like "No Hope"

@yelyahnaloj Thank you for your donation to UNRWA! The Polynesian ground dove (Pampusana erythroptera) was quite difficult to do, as the species is Critically Endangered and thus very few reference photos exist, so I may have mixed the plumage coloration with a few similar species in the genus. Fun fact: because they have no natural ground predators, P. erythroptera will often run away when started, rather than fly!
