The Pemba Green Pigeon is a distinct species endemic to Pemba Island off the coast of Tanzania, notable for its bright green plumage. It is a vital part of the island's unique avifauna.
Where to spot
Exclusively found on Pemba Island, Tanzania, inhabiting forested areas, woodlands, and large gardens with fruiting trees, particularly lowland habitats.
How to spot
Focus on the mid to upper canopy of fruiting trees, especially figs. Its vibrant green helps it blend in, so look for subtle movements or listen for its soft cooing calls. Binoculars will aid in identification.
When to spot
Observable year-round, typically active during morning and late afternoon when foraging for fruits. It is a resident species, present throughout the day.

Being an island endemic with a restricted range, this pigeon's survival is closely tied to the preservation of Pemba's remaining native forests and woodlands, making it a conservation priority.
