''Treron'' is a genus of bird in the pigeon family Columbidae, commonly called "'green pigeon."' The genus is distributed across Asia and Africa. This genus contains 29 species, remarkable for their green coloration, hence the common name, which comes from a carotenoid pigment in their diet. Green pigeons have diets of various fruit, nuts, and/or seeds. They dwell in trees and occupy a variety of wooded habitats. Members of this genus can be further grouped into species with long tails, medium-length tails, and wedge-shaped tails. Most species of green pigeon display sexual dimorphism, where males and females can be readily distinguished by different colored plumage. ==Species== * Cinnamon-headed green pigeon (''Treron fulvicollis'') * Little green pigeon (''Treron olax'') * Pink-necked green pigeon (''Treron vernans'') * Orange-breasted green pigeon (''Treron bicinctus'') * Pompadour green pigeon complex: * * Sri Lanka green pigeon (''Treron pompadora'') * * Grey-fronted green pigeon (''Treron affinis'') * * Andaman green pigeon (''Treron chloropterus'') * * Ashy-headed green pigeon (''Treron phayrei'') * * Philippine green pigeon (''Treron axillaris'') * * Buru green pigeon (''Treron aromaticus'') * Thick-billed green pigeon (''Treron curvirostra'') * Grey-cheeked green pigeon (''Treron griseicauda'') * Sumba green pigeon (''Treron teysmannii'') * Flores green pigeon (''Treron floris'') * Timor green pigeon (''Treron psittaceus'') * Large green pigeon (''Treron capellei'') * Yellow-footed green pigeon (''Treron phoenicopterus'') * Bruce's green pigeon (''Treron waalia'') * Madagascar green pigeon (''Treron australis'') * Comoros green pigeon (''Treron griveaudi'') * African green pigeon (''Treron calvus'') * Pemba green pigeon (''Treron pembaensis'') * São Tomé green pigeon (''Treron sanctithomae'') * Pin-tailed green pigeon (''Treron apicauda'') * Sumatran green pigeon (''Treron oxyurus'') * Yellow-vented green pigeon (''Treron seimundi'') * Wedge-tailed green pigeon (''Treron sphenurus'') * White-bellied green pigeon (''Treron sieboldii'') * Whistling green pigeon (''Treron formosae'') 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「green pigeon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
