The breeding season of the Pin-tailed Green Pigeon is from May to August. The male and female birds chase each other between March and April. The courtship behavior of the male bird includes nodding, sticking out the chest, spreading the wings, spreading the tail, and jumping around the female bird, making a "coo" sound and pretending to peck at the ground from time to time. It nests in the mountain evergreen broad-leaved forest below 2,000 meters above sea level. Most nests are built in open areas or on trees along the riverbank. The nest is platform-shaped, made of only a few dead branches, and is relatively simple. Each nest usually lays 2 eggs.
