The Sumba Green Pigeon is an endemic species to the Indonesian island of Sumba, recognized by its bright green plumage. It thrives in the island's unique forest ecosystems.
Where to spot
Exclusively found on the island of Sumba, Indonesia, inhabiting primary and secondary monsoon forests, open woodlands, and disturbed areas with remnant trees.
How to spot
Look for it in fruiting trees within the dry forests of Sumba. Its calls, which are soft coos, can help locate it within the dense foliage. Patience is key as it blends well with its environment.
When to spot
Observable year-round on Sumba, with peak activity during early mornings and late afternoons when foraging. Like most green pigeons, it's active during daylight hours.
As an island endemic, this pigeon plays a vital role in seed dispersal for Sumba's unique flora, contributing significantly to the health and regeneration of its native forests.
