The Philippine Green-Pigeon, formerly a subspecies of the Pompadour Green-Pigeon, is now recognized as a distinct species endemic to the Philippines. It is a vibrant, fruit-eating forest bird that plays a crucial ecological role.
Where to spot
Inhabits lowland and montane forests throughout the Philippines, including primary and mature secondary growth. Look for it in areas with abundant fruiting trees, especially fig trees.
How to spot
Look for its green plumage and specific regional variations in its markings, which might differ across islands. Listen for its soft, cooing calls. Scan the canopy of fruiting trees, as they often feed high up and can be well camouflaged.
When to spot
Most active during the early morning and late afternoon when foraging. It is a resident bird and can be observed year-round within its Philippine range.
