The grey-fronted green pigeon (Treron affinis) is a pigeon in the genus Treron. It is found in the forests of the Western Ghats in India. Many authorities have split the species from the pompadour green pigeon complex. The male has a reddish mantle. The female has a green mantle.
The grey-fronted 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.

Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Gray-fronted Green-Pigeon in Coimbatore on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Gray-fronted Green-Pigeon is recorded against all the birds logged in Coimbatore (10 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.
