The Buru green pigeon is a medium-sized bird with bright green plumage. It lives only on Buru Island in Indonesia and feeds on tree fruits.
The Buru green pigeon differs from other green pigeons in the details of its coloration and in that it occurs only on one island. It is important for nature because it disperses plant seeds and helps the forest renew itself.
Collects fruits with its beak directly from trees.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
