The large green pigeon is a bulky green pigeon with a heavy bill, grey head and maroon shoulder patches in the male. It inhabits lowland evergreen and swamp forest in the Sundaic region, including the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra and Borneo. Flocks gather quietly in fruiting trees, swallowing figs and other fruit whole, and may fly considerable distances between feeding sites and communal roosts (Wikipedia, general species account). It is Nationally Endangered (Thailand Red Data 2025).
