The Wedge-tailed Green Pigeon ranges from the western Himalayas through Southeast Asia and nearby islands. Males show metallic colors on the head and chest.
Males have a yellow forehead, a coppery-gold crown and breast, and chestnut on the shoulders. The broad wedge-shaped tail and pale cinnamon undertail are also distinctive.
At Kasumpti in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, northern India, animals feeding on Himalayan Woodbine berries were documented. From a balcony overlooking an urban forest at 1,960 m, the author photographed animals appearing on deodar trees draped with the vine. The photo documentation took place in September 2023; the article also includes photographs taken at the same location in 2014 and 2016.
The results list seven bird species and two mammals feeding on the berries. The birds included residents, local migrants, and long-distance migrants. One was the Wedge-tailed Green Pigeon (Treron sphenurus), classified in the paper’s table as a summer migrant and a frugivore. The mammals were the Himalayan Langur and Rhesus Macaque.
