Pink-headed Fruit-dove is a little-known, restricted-range species,endemic to the mountains of the Indonesian islands of Sumatra, Java and Bali.The fruit-dove appeared to be restricted to 12,000 square km of forest, scattered over 20 major mountain complexes on the three islands, i.e. three on Sumatra, 16 on Java and one on Bali. It occurred exclusively on mountains of 2,000 m in altitude, where, depending on the size of the mountain, it reached its lower altitudinal limit between 500 and 1,000 m. The species was found mostly in singles or as pairs but occasionally in flocks of up to 17 individuals. It occurred almost exclusively in forest, feeding on figs and small berries in the upper-canopy
