While several species of Treron sp.,s inhabit different regions across Asia, the specific species found in Rajaji National Park may vary. Some potential species include the Orange-breasted (Treron bicinctus), Wedge-tailed green pigeon, Yellow-footed Green Pigeon (Treron phoenicopterus), Pin-tailed Green Pigeon or Thick-billed (Treron curvirostra).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Habitat_and_Behavior\"><\/span>Habitat and Behavior<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rajaji National Park offers a diverse habitat for Treron sp., comprising dense forests, riverine vegetation, and open grasslands. These habitats provide an abundance of fruit-bearing trees and shrubs, which are the primary food source for Treron sp.. These birds are predominantly frugivorous, feeding on a variety of ripe fruits, berries, and seeds. Their specialized diet plays a crucial role in seed dispersal and maintaining the ecological balance within the park.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/junglesafarirajajinationalpark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2-36-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Green Pigeon Species (Treron sp.)\" class=\"wp-image-2017\" srcset=\"https:\/\/junglesafarirajajinationalpark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2-36-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/junglesafarirajajinationalpark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2-36-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/junglesafarirajajinationalpark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2-36-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/junglesafarirajajinationalpark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2-36-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/junglesafarirajajinationalpark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2-36.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Green Pigeon Species (Treron sp.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are generally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/arboreal\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/arboreal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">arboreal<\/a>, preferring to roost and forage in the canopy of trees. Their emerald green plumage provides excellent camouflage amidst the foliage, making them somewhat challenging to spot despite their vibrant coloration.

These birds construct relatively flimsy nests made of twigs and leaves, often situated high in the branches of trees for added protection against predators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While these are not considered globally threatened, certain species may face localized threats due to habitat loss, deforestation, and poaching. Conservation efforts within Rajaji National Park aim to mitigate these threats through habitat restoration, anti-poaching measures, and community engagement initiatives.
