Hi Carla,
Have spent a lot of time identifying
this bird and we're pretty sure it's a Topknot rather than a Crested. Too big
for Crested and colouring is different. Climate is just a tad cooler (about 1 or
2 degrees) than Cairns etc., although it's not always as
humid.
We have rainforest pockets quite
close and, as I mentioned, most of the acreages here have been turned into
rainforest gardens by the residents.
See my earlier posting to Trevor,
for the whereabouts of Tannum Sands. It is on all roadmaps of Queensland, and in
most southern tourist brochures, according to the many southern tourists who
come each year.
Smiles,
Lesley

Hi,
I also have heard many people call Crested Pigeons, Topknot
Pigeons and the
two are really nothing alike.
Also the Top Knot is much
larger at 40-46cm while the Crested is only
31-35cm. Where abouts is
Tannum Sands?
Do you live near rainforest?
Carla
