The Pin-tailed Green Pigeon is a beautiful species easily identified by its elongated, pointed central tail feathers, which give it its common name. It displays vibrant green and grey plumage.
Where to spot
Widespread across the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, inhabiting humid evergreen forests, particularly in foothills and lower montane regions, often near water sources.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic long, pointed tail while perched or in flight. It often feeds silently and unobtrusively in the canopy, so scanning fruiting trees carefully is essential. Listen for its soft, melodious whistles.
When to spot
Observable year-round as a resident species. Most active during the morning and late afternoon when foraging in fruiting trees.

The distinctive 'pins' in its tail are a unique morphological feature among green pigeons, making it one of the most readily identifiable species even from a distance or in flight.
