The Sumatran Green Pigeon is a strikingly plumaged member of the green pigeon family, known for its vibrant green and yellow hues that allow it to blend seamlessly into its forest habitat. This arboreal bird primarily feeds on fruits high in the canopy.
Where to spot
Endemic to the island of Sumatra in Southeast Asia, inhabiting montane forests, particularly at higher elevations.
How to spot
Look for movement high in the forest canopy, often near fruiting trees. Their green plumage provides excellent camouflage, so listening for their distinctive soft cooing calls can be a good indicator of their presence.
When to spot
Best observed during daylight hours, particularly in the early morning or late afternoon when they are most active foraging for fruits.
