The wedge-tailed green pigeon is an arboreal pigeon with green plumage, a tapered wedge-shaped tail and yellow-edged wing feathers. Males have a maroon shoulder patch and warmer breast tones. It inhabits hill and montane forest from the Himalayas through southern China into Southeast Asia. Flocks feed on figs and other fruit in the canopy, often travelling between elevations as fruit availability changes (Wikipedia, general species account). It is Nationally Least Concern (Thailand Red Data 2025).
