In actuality, the Green-naped Pheasant Pigeon is pigeon, not a pheasant. This bird earns its name because it lives and scavenges on the forest floor much like a pheasant would. The Green-naped Pheasant Pigeon also looks physically similar to a pheasant apart from its distinct pigeon head. This bird’s tail is a blue-purple color and laterally compact, making it very flat, with rounded chestnut-colored wings. The Green-naped Pheasant Pigeon is known to be a very secretive animal, hiding its nest under trees and bushes.  Both parents care for the egg, the resulting hatchling, and one another during both the incubation and rearing periods.
