There were plenty of them around but I only managed  a  poor shot of these two.

Fig fiesta: Pink-Necked Pigeons

22nd February 2010, Taman Melawati, Selangor

Once again the fig tree at the school is fruiting and attracting lots of birds. Among them are the Pink-necked Pigeons,  the male with the pink  and the female in all green. The figs  begin from green to bright yellow and finally to red. The birds  instinctively know the ones to pick.

Pink-Necked Green-Pigeons at SMK Tmn. Melawati

26 July 2009, Taman Melawati, Selangor

Went the the School after receiving information that a flock of 5-8 Little Pigeons have been coming regularly to a nearby fruiting tree . When the birds came I could see that they were actually Pink-Necked Green-Pigeons (Treron vernans). Never mind, appreciate the info. At least it was an opportunity to improve on the existing photos. The female is greener than the male and lacks the orange patch on the breast.
