🐦 Today's Birdy｜Green Pigeon

The Green Pigeon is a common resident bird in Taiwan, found from plains to mid-elevation forests. You might even spot them in parks and hills within the Taipei Basin. Their bodies are predominantly green with a wedge-shaped tail. Males often have striking purplish-red on their shoulder feathers and wings, with a yellowish-green and orange chest, while females have less prominent purplish-red. They are quite shy and tend to hide quietly among the leaves. They primarily eat fruits, seeds, and other plant-based foods, usually appearing alone, in pairs, or in small flocks. In winter, they move from higher elevations to lower areas. 🌿 Fun Fact Green Pigeons can sometimes gather in groups of tens or even hundreds! However, they are usually very quiet and adept at hiding, so even if you live near a city, it's common to have birds nearby without being able to find them.
