The White-bellied Green Pigeon is a large, vibrant species known for its predominantly green plumage contrasting with a pale, almost white underside. This fruit-eating bird is a migratory species in parts of its range, moving between breeding and wintering grounds.

Where to spot

Primarily found in East Asia, including Japan, Korea, China, and parts of Southeast Asia. Inhabits broadleaf evergreen forests and wooded areas.

How to spot

Look for them high in the canopy, often in groups, feeding on ripe fruits. Their relatively large size and bright plumage can make them somewhat easier to spot than some other green pigeons, especially against darker foliage. Listen for their mellow, flute-like calls.

When to spot

Best observed during spring and summer in its northern breeding grounds, and in autumn and winter in its southern non-breeding areas. Look for them feeding in the canopy during daylight hours.
