In appearance it is very like the green-pigeon of the plains and is equally difficult to distinguish from its leafy surroundings. Every sportsman must be familiar with the bird. Its magnificent bronzed metallic, green plumage renders its identification easy. Its plumage is of that grey hue which is so characteristic of doves as to be called dove-colour.
Instead of the crescendo shriek of the koel, the pleasing double note of the European cuckoo meets the ear. For the eternal coo-coo-coo-coo of the little brown dove, the melodious kokla-kokla of the hill green-pigeon is substituted. The harsh cries of the rose-ringed paroquets give place to the softer call of the slaty-headed species.
