About the Ashy-headed Green-Pigeon

The ashy-headed green pigeon (Treron phayrei) is a pigeon in the genus Treron. It is found from Nepal, northeast India, and Bangladesh to southwest China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. Many authorities split the species from the pompadour green pigeon complex. It has been added to the Red List of IUCN in 2014.

The ashy-headed green pigeon usually occurs singly or in small groups. Its flight is fast and direct, with the regular beats and an occasional sharp flick of the wings that are characteristic of pigeons in general. It eats the seeds and fruits of a wide variety of plants. It builds a stick nest in a tree and lays two white eggs.

It is the 247th most-seen of the 277 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.

When is the best time to see an Ashy-headed Green-Pigeon in Bangkok?

Any time of year

In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ashy-headed Green-Pigeon in Bangkok on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.

What time of day is best to see an Ashy-headed Green-Pigeon?

Between 6 and 9 am

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ashy-headed Green-Pigeon sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

Where else can you see an Ashy-headed Green-Pigeon?

Only Bangkok, in our data

Bangkok is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Ashy-headed Green-Pigeon sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

Where does the Ashy-headed Green-Pigeon sighting chance come from?

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the Ashy-headed Green-Pigeon is recorded against all the birds logged in Bangkok (15 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
