Wow, that is amazing. There are fairly recent reports of Rose-crowneds in East
Gippsland, and they were historically common around Mallacoota, so it seems
possible that the odd vagrant could cross Bass Strait.

Hi All, just to report that a suspected vagrant Rose-crowned Fruit-dove was
re-located after initial report some days ago, in ‘suburban’ Devonport, Tas. We
are making enquiries about the possibility of it being an escapee, but to date,
no-one knows of anyone keeping Fruit-doves in Tasmania. The only other reports
I am aware of (though there may be others) are 1922 and 1968.
Cheers,
John Tongue
Devonport, Tas.
