Conservation through knowledge, exchange and responsible breeding
Fruit doves are admired for their colours, calm behaviour and close connection to tropical habitats. Many species are affected by the loss of rainforest habitats in their native ranges. In European collections, dedicated keepers and zoological institutions can help preserve experience, knowledge and sustainable breeding lines.
The project brings together species profiles, stock records, breeding reports, price recommendations and contacts in one place. This creates a practical overview that supports the exchange of birds, experience and project contacts.
Species profiles
Multilingual species information with taxonomy, range, characteristics and husbandry notes.
Stocks & breeding
Internal reports help understand available birds, breeding results and possible pairings.
Network
Project contacts, meetings and a protected members area support cooperation.
