Description:
Orange-bellied Fruit-Dove is the most common Pigeon in the lowlands around Nimbokrang. They often move in flocks of varying size, and sometimes they can form very large groups of up to 100 birds. It is found in more open habitat, as well as secondary forest and forest edges. Once one knows their call, they seem to be omnipresent and really common, but as they often forage high up in the canopy, it is sometimes still difficult to see them properly.
Jalan Korea itself was a good spot to see the birds feeding in trees along the raod in the early morning.
