Most beautiful of pigeons to be freed into the wild

MANILA, Philippines—Five Nicobar pigeons, considered among the most beautiful in the pigeon family but now in threatened numbers, will be released back into the wild this week after six years of rehabilitation at the environment department’s Wildlife Rescue Center in Quezon City, officials said on Tuesday.

The birds—three females and two males—will again fly freely at the world-famous Apo Reef Natural Park (ARNP) in the Sulu Sea, according to the Biodiversity Management Bureau (BMB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
