a. Macropygia phasianella (Gould). Large-tailed Pigeon.

The brown cuckoo-dove (Macropygia phasianella) is a dove in the genus Macropygia found in Australia from Weipa and Aurukun in the north to Bega in the south, and most inland at Atherton and Toowoomba. It is sometimes called the "brown pigeon" or "pheasant pigeon", but both terms are best avoided, as they can lead to confusion with the brown doves and the true pheasant pigeon. Order: Columbiformes > Family: Columbidae > Genus: Macropygia > Species: Macropygia phasianella


b. MEGALOPREPIA MAGNIFICA (Reichenhach). Magnificent Fruit-Pigeon. ( == Ptilinopus magnificus)

The wompoo fruit dove (Ptilinopus magnificus), also known as wompoo pigeon, is one of the larger fruit doves native to New Guinea and eastern Australia. The wompoo fruit dove can be seen in large flocks where food is abundant. Ptilinopus magnificus has purple plumage around its neck, chest and upper belly. Its lower belly is yellow and it has green underparts. Order: Columbiformes > Family: Columbidae > Genus: Ptilinopus > Species: Ptilinopus magnificus
