Many-colored fruit dove

The many-colored fruit dove ("Ptilinopus perousii") also known as Manuma in the Samoan language is a species of bird in the family Columbidae. It occurs on islands in the south-west Pacific Ocean where it is found in Fiji, the Samoan Islands, and Tonga. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. Today, most often the birds are found in Fiji and Tonga. It usually feeds high in the canopy on fruit and berries, especially banyan fig. The nest is a small platform of twigs where one or two white eggs is laid.
Description.
It is a small dove, 23 cm in length. Adults weigh in at 90 grams. The male is mostly pale yellow-white with a red crown and red bar across the back. The female is mostly green, darker on the back and greyer on the head and breast. Her crown is red while the undertail-coverts are red in Samoan birds and yellow in birds from Fiji and Tonga.
Male Ptilinopus perousii perousii is pale on the bottom and yellow on top. There is also a crimson band and corona. The female is said to resemble the purple-capped fruit dove; however, there is no yellow band. They have grey on the bottom while green on top. It only has a crimson corona unlike the male.
Taxonomy.
The Many-Colored Fruit Dove is in the columbidae family with the other doves and pigeons. It a fruit dove meaning it belongs to Ptilinopus. However, it is very far from most other doves and has no close relatives due to it being endemic to the South Pacific islands. The two subspecies are Ptilinopus perousii mariae and Ptilinopus perousii perousii. Mariae is found in Fiji and Tonga. 
The English name is very literal, it is a many colored dove that eats fruit. The Samoan name of manuma means shy bird. 
Behavior.
Diet.
The many-colored fruit dove is a frugivore. It forages the canopies of trees in search of figs. On Samoa and American Samoa it is mostly the banyan. However, on Fiji, they are known to eat ylang ylang, bishop wood, and Trema cannabina. This strict diet keeps the two fig species in check; however, any decline in the amount of figs may be a disaster for the many-colored fruit dove.
Social.
Manuma are often found in small flocks. In each flock there are normally many males to females. 
Endangerment.
While not listed as threatened or endangered by IUCN, their population is dropping. Was put onto candidate list by the United States' Department of Fish and Wildlife, however, it was never onto the national list. It has a restricted range and shows a highly specific natural foraging ecology. In American Samoa, biologist looked for help from Pacific Bird Conservation to begin a captive breeding project within the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Only about 50 are left on the whole American Samoa compared to the giant flocks reported in the 19th and 20th century, however, there are other flocks else where in the pacific. Hurricane Val and Hurricane Ofa came close to killing off all many-colored fruit doves. Habitat destruction and exploitation are the main causes for the decline. A theorized caused for there low populations on American Samoa is that the specialization on the Banyan with how few there are pulling the numbers down. On a continent this would be a minimal problem for a species, just migrate, but on islands like the many-colored fruit dove is on, there is nowhere else to go.
