    I have just had a look. Here is a short paragraph on where they are from...

    Distribution and population
    Caloenas nicobarica is a small island specialist, it occurs on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India, Mergui archipelago (Myeik Kyunzu), Myanmar, islands off south-west peninsular Thailand, islands around Peninsular Malaysia, islands off southern Cambodia and Vietnam, islands around Sumatra, Wallacea and Papua (formerly Irian Jaya), Indonesia, possibly also Timor-Leste, many islands in the Philippines, islands in Papua New Guinea and throughout the Solomon Islands, plus Palau (race pelewensis). Generally scarce throughout its range, it is most abundant on the smallest, least disturbed islands. The distinctive race pelewensis was thought to still number up to 1,000 birds in 1985.

    Wow. So I could possibly go to the Solomon Islands and see Lucy's distant relatives and quite possibly this pigeon. It's a shame that I don't fly nor go on boats/ships. lol

    Gorgeous bird!! I'd love to add one of those to my long list of 'Wants'! Such vibrant colors on it.

    Debra, you don't fly or take trips on ships either? Me too!! I fear deep water and I just can't bring myself to get on a plane, so I stick to the old horsepower under my hood.
