About the Yellow-breasted Fruit Dove
The yellow-breasted fruit dove (Ramphiculus occipitalis), known locally as balorinay, is a species of bird in the family Columbidae. It is endemic to the Philippines. Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forest. While it is listed as least concern in IUCN, it is declining due to habitat loss, hunting, and trapping for the illegal wildlife trade. This species was formerly placed in the genus Ptilinopus. It is illegal to hunt, capture, or keep yellow-breasted fruit-doves under Philippine Law RA 9147.
