Green pigeon

(Total 30)See text Treron is a genus of bird in the pigeon family Columbidae.

Most species of green pigeon display sexual dimorphism, where males and females can be readily distinguished by differences in their plumage.

They dwell in trees and occupy a variety of wooded habitats.

The genus Treron was introduced in 1816 by the French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot with the thick-billed green pigeon (Treron curvirostra) as the type species.

[1][2] The genus name is from the Ancient Greek trērōn meaning "pigeon" or "dove".
