Bruce's Green Pigeon - info about diet not correct.

[edit]

"It is a frugivore bird species that specialises on eating the fruits of a single species of fig tree, Ficus platphylla". This info is wrong. I have observed this bird eating other fruits, notably water berries, but also the fruits of other fig trees. Even have pictures of it. Seems the authors of the cited research paper got it wrong. 196.190.121.235 (talk) 15:03, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I have seen it feeding on several other fig species in Ethiopia. And in Ethiopia, BGP is indeed green. Stunningly green indeed (with patches of yellow, blue and purple). 2A02:1811:D09:7400:C1B6:3EE:7530:5B41 (talk) 19:55, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
