The large green pigeon (Treron capellei) is a species of bird in the family Columbidae. It is found in Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The population of the large green pigeon is estimated to be at approximately 15,000 to 30,000 individuals across its range in Southeast Asia. This bird inhabits primary and secondary evergreen rainforests, almost always in the lowland but may inhabit foothills of up to 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) high. Small flocks generate in the high canopies of the rainforest in search of fruiting trees. Although this bird is primarily active during the day, nocturnal movements have been noticed.
The largest threat to the large green pigeon is the deforestation of its forest home. Large amounts of its original habitat have been cut down due to illegal logging and making way for palm oil plantations which have also had a devastating effect on other species.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Large Green-Pigeon sighting in Danum Valley Conservation Area on a given day, based on 67 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 165th most-seen of the 258 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Large Green-Pigeon in Danum Valley Conservation Area on a given day, against under 5% in February, May–June and August–December, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Large Green-Pigeon sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Large Green-Pigeon sightings, Danum Valley Conservation Area ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Taman Negara National Park (Malaysia, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Large Green-Pigeon is recorded against all the birds logged in Danum Valley Conservation Area (67 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
