My real name means "Dove". I'm also a keen birdwatcher. One of the more beautiful families of doves where I grew up (Papua New Guinea and Australia) is the Fruit-Dove family - and the scientific name for the genus is Ptilinopus. Also one that rarely gets knocked back when registering for an online site...

I'm also a keen stamp collector, and attached are some stamps featuring Ptilinopus doves.
