The Nicobar pigeon or Caloenas nicobarica is found in India through Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Palau, including many small islands in the same region. The spectacular iridescent plumage, elongated gray neck feathers and pure white tail of the Nicobar pigeon are distinctive, and unfortunately, are also part of the threat to this bird, because its extreme beauty makes is a popular target for illegal poaching for the pet trade. Habitat destruction also threatens this bird, but on small, less disturbed islands it can still thrive.
