The blue-headed wood dove (Turtur brehmeri), also known as the blue-headed dove, is a medium-sized (up to 25 cm (9.8 in) long), rufous brown wood-dove with bluish-grey head, iridescent green patches on wings, reddish bill, dark brown iris, and dark red feet. Both sexes are similar. The young is duller in colour than adult.
The blue-headed wood dove is widespread across the African tropical rainforest. The blue-headed wood dove nests in trees. The nest is made from twigs, leaves, and other vegetation. Its diet consists mainly of seeds, fallen fruits, insects, and small animals taken from feeding grounds. The female usually lays one to two eggs.
Widespread and locally common throughout its large range, the blue-headed wood dove is evaluated as of least concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. BirdLife Species Factsheet Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Blue-headed Wood-Dove sighting in Taï National Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 27th most-seen of the 74 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Blue-headed Wood-Dove sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Taï National Park, in our data
Taï National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Blue-headed Wood-Dove sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Blue-headed Wood-Dove is recorded against all the birds logged in Taï National Park (10 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
