Full Life Cycle 👑🕊️ Victoria Crowned Pigeon Reproduction And Chick Growth | Life of Wings

Deep within the tropical rainforests of New Guinea, a flash of brilliant blue reveals a creature with proud regal beauty. The Victoria crowned pigeon, the largest surviving pigeon species on earth. After pairing up, Victoria crowned pigeons live together with extraordinary loyalty and faithfulness. When it is time to lay eggs, the female chooses a quiet tree fork about two to three meters above the ground to prepare a nest. While the male is responsible for gathering materials, the female takes full control of arranging and building the nest in her own way. The nest looks rather loose and flimsy, a kind of minimalist architecture commonly seen in almost any other pigeon species. Typically, they lay only one to two eggs per breeding cycle. The responsibility of incubating the eggs is shared by both parents. Typically, the male guards the nest during the day, leaving the night shift to the female. In the heart of the tropical rainforest, danger is always lurking, turning every moment of survival into a harsh challenge. Fortunately, the snake was driven away. The single egg in the nest had finally hatched. During the first days of life, both the father and mother produce crop milk to feed the chick. Thanks to the abundant supply of food, the chick grows noticeably fast. That's it. Step on the branch. Slowly. I'm trying. Careful. Chirp. Weir. Weir.
