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.
