The Pink Pigeon :

Pink pigeons have pale pink plumage on their head, shoulders and underside, along with pink feet and pink beak. They have dark brown wings, and a broad, reddish-brown tail.

The female is a duller shade than the male. They have dark brown eyes surrounded by a ring of red skin; whist the beak tip is yellow.

Newly hatched pigeons have sparse, downy-white feathers and closed eyes. An adult pigeon is about 32 cm from beak to tail and 350 gram in weight.

Mauritius has brought out a series of stamps depicting the endemic Pink Pigeon.
