Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Love the delightful metallic green colour of the Nicobar Pigeon! This is not a very vocal species, giving a low-pitched repetitive call. This species nests in dense forest on offshore islets, often in large colonies. It builds a loose stick nest in a tree. It lays one elliptical faintly blue-tinged white egg. It feeds mostly on seeds, fruit and buds, and it is attracted to areas where grain is available. A gizzard stone helps to grind up hard food items. Its flight is quick, with regular beats and an occasional sharp flick of the wings, as is characteristic of pigeons in general. Unlike other pigeons, groups tend to fly in columns or single file, not in a loose flock. (Butterworth, Penang, Nov. 2013) |
