Treron axillaris
In 3 days <5%
The Philippine green pigeon (Treron axillaris) is a pigeon in the genus Treron. It is endemic to the Philippines where it lives in the tropical moist lowland forests. It is part of the pompadour green pigeon complex which it was once conspecific with.
Described on Ebird as "A medium-sized pigeon of lowland and foothill forest canopy, with green underparts, head, and rump, a gray crown, yellow wingbars and edges to the flight feathers, a whitish belly, and white under the base of the tail. Note the whitish bill with a reddish base and the blue eyes. Male has a maroon shoulder and back, where the female is green. Similar to Thick-billed Green-Pigeon, but Philippine has a thinner bill and lacks the green skin around the eye. Female resembles female Pink-necked Green-Pigeon, but that species has yellow marks only on the edge of the wing. Voice is typical of green-pigeons, including a rising-and-falling out-of-tune whistled song."
It was previously conspecific the Pompadour green pigeon species complex but is differentiated by the red cere on base of bill, larger bill, bluish-grey legs and feet, blackish-grey carpal area and white undertail-coverts.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Philippine Green-Pigeon sighting in Manila on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 141st most-seen of the 191 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Philippine Green-Pigeon in Manila on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 5 and 8 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Philippine Green-Pigeon sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Manila, in our data
Manila is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Philippine Green-Pigeon sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Philippine Green-Pigeon is recorded against all the birds logged in Manila (25 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.
