Green Imperial Pigeon

Ducula aenea

The Green Imperial Pigeon, scientifically known as Ducula aenea, is a large and striking pigeon species found in the forests and woodlands of Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. This bird is characterized by its vibrant green plumage, contrasting with a white belly and undertail coverts. The species is known for its distinctive call, a series of deep, resonant coos. Green Imperial Pigeons primarily feed on fruits and berries, and they play an important role in seed dispersal within their habitat. These pigeons are often seen in pairs or small flocks, perched high in the canopy or flying gracefully through the forest. While they are not currently considered to be at risk, habitat loss and hunting pose potential threats to their populations.
