MANILA/SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): In a first, 10 critically endangered Negros bleeding-heart pigeons were turned over on Jan 15 to the Philippines by Singapore’s Mandai Wildlife Group.
The pigeon – so called because of a vivid red or orange patch of plumage on its breast that resembles a puncture wound – is endemic to the Philippines.
