Birdtober Day Thirty: African Green-Pigeon

I love green birds. There's something so tropical about them. I haven't seen this species in a while, but I really enjoy them.  In the past I've seen them at school more than once. Listen to their sounds in the video below. (Bonus: there's also a Red-eyed Dove calling, starting halfway through the video; you can read about those sounds here.)

African Green-Pigeon

 

You are cute beyond belief;
Green, but noisier than a leaf.
Bluish eye and purple wing,
And that growly, cackly way you sing!
