Flores green pigeon

Treron floris

The Flores green pigeon (Treron floris) is a medium-sized pigeon species found in the Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia. It has a distinctive green plumage with a yellowish-green patch on the nape and a red patch on the shoulder. These pigeons are primarily frugivorous, feeding on a variety of fruits and occasionally seeds. They are often found in lowland forests, secondary growth, and wooded areas. The Flores green pigeon is known for its gentle cooing calls and can be observed in small flocks or pairs. While the population trend is not well documented, habitat loss and hunting pressure are potential threats to this species.
