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.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ashy-headed Green-Pigeon sighting in Kaziranga National Park on a given day, based on 46 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 211th most-seen of the 323 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ashy-headed Green-Pigeon in Kaziranga National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August–September and November–April, the lowest months. June and July have too few records to rate.
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.
6th of 7
Of the 7 parks where we can rate Ashy-headed Green-Pigeon sightings, Kaziranga National Park ranks 6th at under 5%. The best odds are in Namdapha National Park (India, about 10%), Cat Tien National Park (Vietnam, about 10%) and Royal Bardia National Park (Nepal, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ashy-headed Green-Pigeon is recorded against all the birds logged in Kaziranga National Park (46 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.
