In the emerald rainforests of the Pacific islands, these soft-hued canopy dwellers drift quietly between fruiting trees. They feed almost entirely on ripe figs and berries, swallowing them whole and choosing only the richest clusters hidden high in the leaves. What makes them extraordinary is their unseen labor as forest gardeners — carrying seeds across valleys and ridges, they help rebuild island forests where storms and time constantly reshape the land. Gentle silhouettes among the leaves, yet vital hands in the renewal of the canopy.
