The Victoria Crowned Pigeon, Goura victoria is a large, up to 74cm (29 in) long, bluish-grey pigeon with elegant blue lace-like crests, maroon breast and red iris. The bird may be easily recognized by the unique white tips on its crests.
One of three species of crowned pigeons, the Victoria Crowned Pigeon is distributed in the lowland forests of northern New Guinea and surrounding islands. Its diet consists mainly of fruits, seeds, and invertebrates.
Due to continuing habitat lost, being tame and easily hunted for its plumes and meat, the Victoria Crowned Pigeon is evaluated as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It is listed in Appendix II of CITES.

i don't think they are a species anymore. I think they became extinct a couple years ago.
