Female. Remarks: Went back a second time to the fruiting Ficus benjamina. The fruit are almost depleted, and it was a wet day, but I was pleased to see a small flock of five adult (mixed male and female) Yellow-vented Green-pigeons Treron seimundi seimundi and two adult female Thick-billed Green Pigeons. Seeing them together for a second day makes me wonder if social interaction and communal feeding is possible between these two species. May just be the attraction of the fruiting tree (however, I have not seen either bird here before over many years despite seeing many fruiting ficus). The fruit is crushed and swallowed. Large volumes can be consumed in a short time by a single bird. This particular pigeon has a characteristic and frequent behaviour of "wagging the tail". - Amar. Date added to OBI: December 08, 2013.
