The Flores Green Pigeon is a striking species native to the Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia, distinguished by its vibrant green body. It is often found in the dry forests of its island home.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia, particularly Flores and nearby islands like Sumbawa, Lombok, and Timor, inhabiting monsoon forests, woodlands, and cultivated areas with scattered trees.
How to spot
Scan the canopies of fruiting trees, especially figs. Its vibrant green plumage can blend well with leaves, so look for movement or listen for its soft cooing calls. A good pair of binoculars is recommended.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, particularly during cooler morning and late afternoon hours when foraging. It is a resident species, observable all year in its range.
