African Green Pigeon

Treron waalia

The African Green Pigeon (Treron waalia) is a species of pigeon found in the woodlands and savannas of sub-Saharan Africa. It is known for its striking green plumage, with a yellow patch on the nape and a red bill. These pigeons are primarily frugivorous, feeding on a variety of fruits and berries. They are often seen in small flocks, perched in trees or flying between feeding areas. The African Green Pigeon plays an important role in seed dispersal within its habitat, contributing to the diversity of plant species. While not currently considered at risk, habitat loss and fragmentation are potential threats to this species.
