Thick-billed Pigeon
They were in a family of 6 birds. Kept to the
high canopy of 50 ft up. Picture enough for id. Their beak is thicker than the
others pigeon with a reddish tinge at the nostril Both male and female have
this bright greenish eyering but the former have chestnut maroon wing whilst
the female plainer green
Uncommon find in low land forest upto 1200m because seldom seen at lower storey. Very suspicious of humans because they eat them...........size about 25-27cm almost a footer yummy to them kampung folks and orang asli.
How Kevin got his shots so close I do not know...............bird luck to u
