The Buru Green-Pigeon is a species endemic to a specific Indonesian island, often split from the broader Pompadour Green-Pigeon complex due to its distinct genetic and morphological features. It is a beautiful, arboreal pigeon.
Where to spot
Exclusively found in the lowland and hill forests of Buru Island, Indonesia. Look for it in the canopy of undisturbed forest areas, particularly where fruiting trees are abundant.
How to spot
Due to its restricted range, identifying it requires being on Buru Island. Look for its green plumage and listen for its soft coos; it often forages quietly in the upper canopy, making it challenging to spot.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, particularly when feeding on fruits. It is a resident species in its very specific range, observable throughout the year.
