The many-colored fruit dove (Ptilinopus perousii), also known as manuma in the Samoan language, is a species of bird in the family Columbidae.

The female is said to resemble the purple-capped fruit dove; however, there is no yellow band.

However, it is very far from most other doves and has no close relatives due to it being endemic to the South Pacific islands.

[9] Manuma are found across many islands and archipelagos across Polynesia with a range of 660,000 sq.

[11] The manuma's fossil range is from 0.12 million years ago to today, exclusively in the quaternary.

[3] While not listed as threatened or endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), their population is in decline in American Samoa.

[10] In the 19th and early 20th centuries, large numbers of this bird were reported on Tutuila, American Samoa.

[3] Biologists with the American Samoa Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources and workers from Pacific Bird Conservation and the Toledo Zoo captured four many-colored fruit dove to begin a captive breeding project at Association of Zoos and Aquariums facilities.

Hunters in search of lupe (Pacific imperial pigeon, Ducula pacifica) or manutagi (purple-capped fruit-doves, Ptilinopus porphyraceus) may kill many-colored fruit doves instead.

[3] In interviews conducted by American Samoa environmental officials, more than a quarter of hunters reported accidentally shooting a many-colored fruit dove.
