The Thick-billed Green-Pigeon is a robust species, easily identified by its noticeably thick, greenish-yellow bill and generally drabber green plumage compared to other green-pigeons. It is a highly arboreal bird.
Where to spot
Found in a wide variety of forested habitats, including lowland broadleaf forests, secondary growth, and bamboo thickets. Often seen in fruit orchards across its widespread Asian range.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive thick bill and overall stocky appearance, which are key identification features. Listen for its deep, resonant cooing calls. Scan the mid to upper canopy, especially near fruiting trees, where it often feeds methodically.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, particularly when foraging. It is a resident bird and can be observed year-round in its range.

Its uniquely stout bill is perfectly adapted for crushing larger, tougher fruits and seeds, broadening its dietary niche compared to other fruit-eating pigeons in its habitat.
