Treron is a genus of bird in the pigeon family Columbidae.[1] It contains 30 species distributed across Asia and Africa, they all are remarkable for their green plumage that lead to their common name green pigeons, which comes from a carotenoid pigment found in their diets of fruits in their wild habitats;[2] other than that, they also eat various, nuts, and/or seeds.
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 differences in their plumage.[citation needed] They dwell in trees and occupy a variety of wooded habitats.[citation needed]
