He finds the upper canopy comfortable , and is not as daring as the common rock pigeons . And he comes alone most of the times and flies off as soon as the other one comes ....probably they don't trust our locality. But the good thing is , they are coming more often and may find our place more pleasant ...
See how they choose the perfect camouflage...can you see the birdie...

I spotted this one when i noticed a movement up my head while i was showering my plants in the morning . A huge green bird was perched on a jamun branch and was fanning his/her tail . That was strange , the slow fanning movement that is... and I asked Arvind to come with the camera ...hush hush moments...
He clicked a few pictures while the green pigeon shifted his position and had stopped fanning his tail by then ....that gesture must a mating thing as another green pigeon flew in soon . The tail side looks fluffed up here ...i am such a shameless woman ... exposing a bird's modesty :)
Look at this ...a better view...Also how they clasp the claw to perch...
Now the green pigeon shifts a bit , noticing the both of us shameless fellows...
The fanning tail is withdrawn and he is looking for someone....
The other one comes too , they look restless and fly away.... can't stand two stupid shameless people around them ... here is the other one...
Aren't they cute ... much like a dove . The face looks like a dove , and very innocent ...Look at this one ...perched on a neem branch ......
another shot...
another...i know the pictures are noisy but i am so excited to see them and show them off here too...
This one didn't get a nice camouflage , or did consciously so...
Looking around...
The green pigeon looked for another branch to hop over and flew off....
This one i spotted while watering my plants too , such a nice good morning moment . These pictures of the green pigeon perched on the neem tree are shot today and it was really a nice good morning for the both of us...
Wishing you all a good day too...

Yes they look like doves, the first time I thought they were doves!! And then a blogger told me they were called Green Pigeons! Loved not only the pictures but also your delight in sharing the story :)
