EDIT: I'm so sorry, I thought this is Victoria Crowned Pigeon, but in fact this is Western Crowned Pigeon, I got confused by these birds, they are too similar to me :D Thank you for telling me, ~Isyala! :hug:

The Western Crowned Pigeon (Goura cristata, Korunáč modrý, Status: Vulnerable) from ZOO Prague, the Czech Republic. First time in my gallery! :aww: I really like this bird so I'm happy I finally took a picture :D

DID YOU KNOW THAT... its name commemorates the British monarch, Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom? :nod:

Is this really Goura victoria,not Goura cristata or Goura Scheepmakeri? I ask because Goura victoria has other crown than the other two:

Lol I hope you didn't consider my comment as rude:D I love these birds,for me it's kind of a Holy Grail among pigeons (fat...round...big...and with crest!!!:D) so when I saw it,I wanted to learn more and to my amazement I learnt that there are three subspecies:D I know they are so similar it's sometimes hard to say which one is which and it seems even the zoos have a problem with that (which,for me,is quite unacceptable...seems you cannot trust anyone lol:D).Anyway I'm glad I was of any help!:D
