The Pin-tailed Green-Pigeon is a medium-sized, strikingly plumaged green-pigeon, easily identified by its elongated central tail feathers that form a distinct 'pin-tail' appearance, especially noticeable in flight.
Where to spot
Found in moist broadleaf forests, especially in hill and montane areas, up to moderate elevations. Often seen in tree canopies and along forest edges across South and Southeast Asia.
How to spot
Look for the distinctive pin-tail and the male's bright coloration, which is particularly striking. Listen for its soft, drawn-out coos. Scan the upper canopy of trees where it often perches quietly, feeding on fruits.
When to spot
Active during daylight, particularly when feeding. Can be observed year-round, though some populations might show local movements related to fruit availability.

The male's elaborate plumage, including a lilac crown and orange breast band, becomes more vibrant during breeding season, believed to be used to attract mates.
