Waar om die African Green Pigeon in Suid-Afrika te sien

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the African Green Pigeon at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Phinda Private Game Reserve, Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park and iSimangaliso Wetland Park. A record means a host has seen it on the property or nearby, which makes these the places to base yourself; it is never a guarantee of a sighting on any given day.

The African Green Pigeon is most recorded in Mpumalanga (37% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (24% of records), Limpopo (17% of records), based on 1,052 iNaturalist observations. 34 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the African Green Pigeon on site or nearby.

The African Green Pigeon is recorded throughout the year, so no month is the wrong month to look for it. For the parks where hosts record it most, these are the best seasons they give. Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; Sabi Sand Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep optimal; Phinda Private Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Timbavati Private Nature Reserve: May-Sep, dry season. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The African green pigeon (Treron calvus) is a species of bird in the family Columbidae, and one of 5 green pigeon species in the Afrotropics. The species has a wide range in Sub-Saharan Africa with around 17 accepted races.
