Thanks for sharing this. I've led a number of birding tours on the Larapinta Trail over the years and these guys at Ormiston Gorge are always one of the highlights for me. I love the footage when they all go into hyper vigilance mode at around 2:11 . . . and those crests! What's not to love about this fantastic Aussie pigeon :)
The colouring and wing markings of these beautiful pigeons remind me a little of our red-legged partridges. Thank you for answering in your info the question that arose in my mind while watching about the birdsong in the background. A lovely video.
Great video! I went birdwatching in both Alice Springs and Exmouth (WA) last year, but unfortunately I missed the Spinifex Pigeon... Thanks for posting!
Thanks TK. No, I have no training, just watched a lot of docos. It's been a big learning curve in video and editing, as I have never done any video till just before last Christmas. The Borneo clips were basically my first real wildlife video attempt.
I really want to go and see this bird for myself, it's a spectacular species just like it's twin look alike the crested pigeon which I have in my yard :D Amazingly I got the opportunity to photograph and record a white crested pigeon I called White Kiddy but it died sadly.

A lovely video.
These pigeons are beautiful and one of my favourite Australian outback birds.
Thanks. In Australia we have two crested pigeons, both basically arid zone species, the Spinifex Pigeon and the Crested Pigeon.
This is a stunning looking bird. Your videos are such high quality. They are a real pleasure to watch!
Cute pigeons
They do have similar markings to Red-legged Partridges, probably good camo for similar environments. I saw those partridges in Spain, nice birds.
great markings on these birds
Best wishes Richard

That pigeon really stands out from other different pigeon species, resembling a different type of bird.

superb video!! what i know they are two species Created Pigeons in the world only came from Australia and some Indonesia islands.
when the classic rock dove's worn out, you've got these.
There's a species similar to spinifex pigeons called crested pigeons.
Awww it looks like a quail!
Cool thanks mate

Spinifexes excel at looking cute while poofing...
Looks like a Top Knot dipped in curry.
