Crested Pigeon aka Ocyphaps lophotes on its nest in our garden. The nest is a very scrappy collection of twigs.
Also known locally as a topknot pigeon, although that is a different species (Lopholaimus antarcticus).

A traditional sketch page with a lot of birds. They are: An australian magpie looking angry. A rainbow lorikeet, smiling evilly. There's a speech bubble with a knife next to it. A tiny cockatiel. A pigeon. An australian white ibis, with little sparkles drawn around its head. An australian magpie, beak open in anger. An australian white ibis, drawn small and low quality. It looks startled, and next to it are 3 exclamation marks. A crested pigeon perched on a branch, smiling. A tiny sketch of a nondescript bird, walking. A duck happily smiling, with "OvO" next to it. A cockatiel, fluffed up and sleepy. Artist signature reads: Interstellarchaosss
A bunch of birbs of various kinds....

The punk pigeons have returned to our backyard 😁🕊❤️ #crestedpigeon #birdsofaustralia
These are Crested Pigeons! They've got that signature feather crest that makes them stand out. Their plumage is a mix of soft greys, pinks, and whites, with some striking black stripes on their wings. We've named our two Molly and Polly. #CrestedPigeon #BackyardBirds #WildlifeSpotting #Birds
A third chested pigeon! Perhaps the baby? (On the right) This is the first time I've seen them, and probably the first time they've seen me, given how unsure and distant they were during the seed throwing. The other two were excited as always for seed.

I saw my first #crestedpigeon within hours of arriving in #sydney, much to my delight. While roaming through the city, I spied a pair and started taking photos only to discover this little fella right at my feet! This illustration will be part of my next book on the weird birds of #australia.
Crested Pigeon looking stylish! 🎩✨
That sleek mohawk isn’t just for show—this bird can make its wings whistle in flight! 🎶

Meet the Crested Pigeon! It is one of Australia’s most stylish birds, with its elegant mohawk and iridescent wing patches that shimmer in the sunlight. We often see these beauties foraging in our garden.

This is Tufty having an early snack in our garden. Unlike most birds that bob their heads while walking, Crested Pigeons pump their tails up and down as they strut.

Here's Tufty, our friendly Crested Pigeon. His feathers look mostly grey, but his wings have beautiful iridescent green, purple, and bronze patches when they catch the light. Is he a pigeon or is he a dove? #crestedpigeon #birds #nature

Like most #birds in #Australia, I hadn't seen this #species before -- a #Crested #Pigeon. An #Aussie local claimed it is the #dumbest #bird in Australia!" 😀
