Bleeding Heart Dove aka Luzon Bleeding Heart

The Luzon bleeding-heart is a secretive dove that is named for the red spot on its breast, which resembles a bleeding wound. As its common name suggests, the Luzon bleeding-heart inhabits the island of Luzon in the Philippines, as well as two neighbouring islands. The Luzon bleeding-heart feeds on the ground, eating a variety of seeds, fruits and invertebrates. Like other pigeons and doves, the Luzon bleeding-heart feeds its young on nutritious ‘crop milk’, a secretion from a pouch near the adult’s throat. http://www.wildlifeincornwall.com/ Filmed in 2014 at Paradise Park in Cornwall Video Produced by Paul Dinning - Wildlife in Cornwall
