The African Green Pigeon has a light gray beak with a coral-red base and a wax that grows up to the forehead. It opens it wide to absorb all kinds of fruits found in the canopy. Particularly fond of wild figs, it also consumes Syzigium, Melia, Myrica and Cossina fruits. It also enjoys podocarp fruit, blackberries, peaches and plums. It can peck wild seeds, grains and buds in the mangroves.
