The pink -necked green pigeon is a species of bird in the dove family Columbidae, common in southeast Asia. it is primarily a frugivore, feeling in groups in the mid-canopy on figs and other fruits. it is an important disperser of fruit seeds in forests, and is thought to be one of the species responsible for helping to return many Ficus species to the islands of Krakatoa in indonesia after the archipelago was largely destroyed in the 1883 eruption. this male pink -necked green pigeon was photographed in Kent Ridge Park, Singapore.
