The ashy wood pigeon (Columba pulchricollis) is a member of the bird family Columbidae, found in temperate forests of southeastern Asia. The ashy wood pigeon has a wide range throughout Southeast Asia, able to be found in Nepal, Bhutan, northern India, southern Tibet, southern China, northern Laos, northern to mid Myanmar, northern Thailand, and Taiwan. While the world population is unknown, the Taiwan population is estimated to be anywhere from 10,000 to 100,000 breeding pairs.
Clutches usually consist of one single white egg, although double egg clutches have been recorded. This pigeon incubates its eggs for approximately 21–23 days. Young birds fledge at about 28 days from being hatched. Pigeon Information & Resources Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ashy Wood Pigeon sighting in Taichung on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 111th most-seen of the 121 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 an Ashy Wood Pigeon in Taichung on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ashy Wood 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.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Ashy Wood Pigeon sightings, Taichung ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Kathmandu (Nepal, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ashy Wood Pigeon is recorded against all the birds logged in Taichung (8 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.
