Imperial Pigeons are large, forest-dwelling pigeons with stomachs and guts adapted for eating fruit without damaging the seeds so that they assist in dispersing the seeds of their food plants. The White Imperial Pigeon, also known as the Silver-tipped I. P., is native to forests of Indonesia's Sulawesi and Sula islands.
