There are five known Bleeding Heart

species—Luzon Bleeding Heart, Mindoro
Bleeding Heart, Negros Bleeding Heart,
Sulu Bleeding Heart and Mindanao
Bleeding Heart, all named after where
they are found. The species are all
identically the same,  varying only in

The Bleeding Heart species belongs to

the bird family Columbidae, a branch of
vertebrae of pigeons and doves. Its heart,
however, as its name implies, is not really
bleeding. It was named rather for a small,
yet distinct, orange-red patch on its white
breast that appears like a bleeding heart.

The Mindoro Bleeding Heart or

Puñalada, as locals call it, is endemic to

endangered pigeon is one of the top
Mindoro Bleeding-heart priorities of the Haribon Foundation.

As this bird is mostly seen on the

ground, deforestation plays a major part in
making the species endangered.” Maria
Belinda dela Paz, chief operating officer of
Haribon Foundation told The Sunday Times
Magazine. “We [The Haribon Foundation]
have been working on conserving the
Mindoro Bleeding-heart
Mindoro Bleeding Heart since year 2000.”

“There are very few Mindoro Bleeding

Heart birds left, and with that we can use it
as an icon to indicate the habitat in which it
resides. We can calculate the health of the
habitat by the numbers. Seeing it incline or
decline can help us observe if the habitat is
getting better,” dela Paz said.
