The Grey-tailed Green Pigeon is a beautiful, medium-sized pigeon characterized by its predominantly green plumage and a distinctive grey tail. It is found in the forests of a specific island region.
Where to spot
Endemic to Sulawesi and its satellite islands in Indonesia, preferring primary and secondary lowland forests, forest edges, and cultivated areas with scattered trees.
How to spot
Focus on the mid to upper canopy layers of fruiting trees, particularly figs. Its grey tail can be a useful identification feature against the green body. Listen for its soft, melodious cooing sounds.
When to spot
Best observed during the fruiting seasons of its preferred trees, typically active during morning and late afternoon hours. It is a resident species, so observable year-round.

Unlike many pigeons that feed on the ground, this species is almost exclusively arboreal, spending its entire life high in the forest canopy where it forages for fruits.
