The Wedge-tailed Green Pigeon is a widespread and adaptable species characterized by its distinctive wedge-shaped tail and beautiful green and grey plumage. It thrives in various forest types across its broad range, from the Himalayas to Southeast Asia.
Where to spot
Found across a wide range of Asia, from the Indian subcontinent and the Himalayas through Southeast Asia to parts of China. Inhabits evergreen and deciduous forests, often at various altitudes.
How to spot
Scan the canopy of fruiting trees for their presence. Look for their characteristic flight pattern with the wedge-shaped tail. Their soft, whistling calls, often described as a series of drawn-out hoots, can help locate them.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often seen feeding communally in fruiting trees. Observing at dawn or dusk can be productive as they move to and from roosting sites.

The unique wedge shape of its tail, which is particularly noticeable in flight, gives this pigeon its common name and is a key distinguishing feature from other green pigeons.
