Hey @Sabine's Sunbird:...can you think of anything interesting about this bird for a DYK hook? Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 02:19, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

• there might be if you can send me some papers - this, this and this if the excerpts I'm seeing in Google are correct it was early colonist on Krakatoa that may have played a role in the spread of figs to the island and subsequently gone extinct. Sabine's Sunbird talk 02:32, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
• maybe ...that the pink-necked green pigeon was able to colonise Anak Krakatoa, the volcano that emerged from the caldera of Krakatoa? Sabine's Sunbird talk 03:56, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

• This [[paper] would be really good too. Sabine's Sunbird talk 04:08, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

@Sabine's Sunbird: 4/4 sent. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 14:02, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Okay, @Casliber: how does this grab you as a hook ...that the pink-necked green pigeon was one of the first species of bird recorded on Krakatoa after it exploded in 1883? Or something like that. Sabine's Sunbird talk 05:54, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

I like it. Hang on.....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 21:57, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

@Sabine's Sunbird: can you link the source that supports that at Template:Did you know nominations/Pink-necked green pigeon and also include it in the article? I have done the QPQ. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 06:05, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

Threw the ref into the nom, the article is already linked, although it is reworded The pink-necked pigeon was observed on the first bird survey of the islands of Krakatoa after the main island was obliterated in a volcanic explosion in 1883, leaving a handful of smaller islands. The survey was conducted in 1908,[11]. Sabine's Sunbird talk 06:13, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

Starting soon. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 07:51, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

• valid and all treat the species as monotypic, – suggest to end the already very long sentence here, and make a new one for the rest.
• Suggest adding iris color, leg color, and beak color to the description, if this information is available.
• Despite these two points (I also did some minor spelling fixes directly), this can be considered a GA as is. Will promote immediately. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 13:29, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

• Thanks. made most of the changes, gonna hunt down iris color. Sabine's Sunbird talk 18:57, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

The pink-necked green pigeon (Treron vernans) is a species of bird in the dove family, Columbidae, common in Southeast Asia. It is primarily a frugivore, feeding in groups in the mid-canopy on figs and other fruits. It is an important disperser of fruit seeds in forests, and is thought to be one of the species responsible for helping to return many Ficus species to the islands of Krakatoa in Indonesia after the archipelago was largely destroyed in the 1883 eruption. This male pink-necked green pigeon was photographed in Kent Ridge Park, Singapore.

They do breed in February

It is FALSE that these birds do not breed in February. Right now a pair of these birds have built a nest outside my bedroom on my balcony in my fake hanging plant. They started building the nest on 15 Feb for a few hours each day. The female laid her eggs on 19 Feb.

Also, not fully correct that they do roughly 12 hour shifts each with the male in the day and female at night. From 19 Feb to 24 Feb, they were doing approximately 24 hour shifts. The male was even recorded once doing a full 28 hour shift before the female arrived to take over. After the initial 5-6 days, they started doing 12 hour shifts.

They are gentle birds. I clean their poop everyday and feed them little twigs which they willingly take with their beaks. They then add it to the nest. They allow me to pet them gently and respond or answer to whistling. 116.88.133.214 (talk) 02:02, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
