The Red-winged Green-pigeon often moves in small groups or alone. It flies fast and straight, and can suddenly change direction during flight. When flying, its wings flap quickly and powerfully, and you can often hear the sound of "whoosh" flapping wings. The chirping sound is very similar to the cry of a child. It mainly feeds on berries such as mountain cherries and strawberries, and also eats fruits and seeds of other plants. It forages mostly on trees and shrubs, and also on the ground.
The call of the red-winged green pigeon: round wu-wua wu, wu-wua wu or ah oh ah oh.
The breeding season of the red-winged green pigeon is May-June. It nests in trees beside ravines or river valleys. The nest is flat and basin-shaped, very simple, mainly made of dead branches, and 2 eggs are laid in each nest. The eggs are white, smooth and spotless. The crop of a pigeon is a spherical bag formed by the expansion of the middle section of the esophagus wall to one side before the esophagus enters the body cavity. It is located between the anterior esophagus and the posterior esophagus. Its inner cavity can be divided into two side sacs on the left and right. The sac wall is thinner and slightly thicker than the anterior esophagus. It is located in the triangular area formed by two bird coracoids in front of the chest, and the rear edge is close to the front edge of the pectoral muscle. The front is close to the skin muscle under the dermis of the skin. The skin muscle can play the role of continuously compressing the crop and vomiting the feed in the crop into the chicks.
