Mentioned in our introductory post, the Common Bronzewing!
The common bronzewing, (Phaps chalcoptera) native to Australia, is a very interesting bird, with spectacular iridescence on the wings. Like all pigeons, they're round and build absolutely terrible nests. Interestingly, the females do not lose their iridescent wings in any way, with barely any differences in sexual dimorphism, really.
