3420. Two orange-breasted green pigeons perched on the trees at 8 am today, Feb 8, 2019

Feb 8, 2019
I started exercise at around 8 am. Yesterday, the orange breasted pigeons appeared high up on the trees. Today, a pair appeared on top of two trees.

I took images of the first one on the tree to my left. He did perch for a few seconds. But my camera had no card. So, I thought that was it. I inserted the card.

Soon another pigeon appeared on the tree to my right, high up and hard to photograph his complete body too. Two images are below:

Feb 7, 2019
Yesterday, I did not exercise. Today, I went earlier at around 8.00 am. At around 8.10 am, I saw one orange breasted green pigeon perched high up on a tree to my behind and right, as if posing for me to photograph. He was there for around one minute sunning himself. May be a female.
