The Spinifex Pigeon (*Geophaps plumifera*) is a small, ground-dwelling pigeon native to Australia’s arid interior. Instantly recognisable by its tall, thin crest and rusty-brown plumage, this species is perfectly adapted to harsh desert environments, especially where spinifex grass and rocky outcrops are common.
