The Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO) rescued a rare Luzon Bleeding-heart (𝘎𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘢 𝘭𝘶𝘻𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢) in Barangay Ferdinand after being caught in an illegal trap during an exploration activity at Mt. Malingudo.

The ground-dwelling bird is widely known for its striking crimson patch on the chest that resembles a bleeding wound, making it one of the most distinctive and visually remarkable bird species in the Philippines.

The Luzon Bleeding-heart is a small to medium-sized forest pigeon with soft gray plumage, a white underside, and iridescent feathers on its wings that shimmer in the light. It is a shy and elusive species, often seen walking quietly on the forest floor rather than flying, and prefers dense lowland forests where it forages for seeds, fallen fruits, and small invertebrates.

Endemic to Luzon, this species is highly dependent on intact forest habitats. Due to continuous habitat loss, illegal hunting, and wildlife trapping, it is currently classified as Near Threatened.

For five days, the bird remained under care and observation until it regained its strength. Today (May 28, 2026), it was successfully released back into the wild — back to the forest where it truly belongs.
