Nicobar pigeon is a species of bird that belongs to the family Columbidae. It is also known as Merpati emas or Punai mas in Malay. This bird has long hackles and whitetail cover with black tail feathers, long wings and long legs. The male can be recognized by its greyish body covered with metallic blue-green and copper-bronze feathers, purple or purple-red legs, and yellow or light brown claws (Goodwin, 1983). In females, the colour is darker, the hackles are shorter and it has smaller cere (Ali & Ripley, 1969). The juveniles are nearly identical to the females, but they have no neck hackles (Ng et al., 2022) and are entirely brownish black including the tail.
Nicobar pigeon can be found in small forested islands, from the Andamans and Nicobars in the Indian Ocean east throughout the Indonesian Archipelago and the Philippines to New Guinea and the Solomons in the western Pacific (Jeyarajasingam & Pearson, 2012).
