The Diamond Dove (*Geopelia cuneata*) is one of Australia's smallest pigeons, comparable in size to a canary. Known for its prominent red eye-ring and speckled wings, this delicate bird thrives in Australia's arid interior. Its slender profile and long, pointed tail make it a distinctive sight in open grasslands and scrublands.
