Ashy Wood Pigeon

Columba pulchricollis

The Ashy Wood Pigeon (Columba pulchricollis) is a medium-sized pigeon species found in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its ashy grey plumage, with a distinctive white patch on the nape. These pigeons inhabit dense forests, wooded areas, and foothills, often foraging on the forest floor for seeds, fruits, and grains. They are known for their gentle cooing calls and are often seen in pairs or small flocks. The Ashy Wood Pigeon plays a vital role in seed dispersal and ecosystem maintenance within its habitat.
