Birds 12 - Green Imperial Pigeon Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon
Birds 12 - Green Imperial Pigeon
This colourful forest pigeon
has its back, tail and wings
a shining metallic green
marvelled for its glowing sheen
A species much larger in size
than its domestic cousins,
found in a wide range of places
like Nepal, South India,
including the Western Ghats
Sri Lanka, the Philippines,
Indonesia and South China,
but now threatened of extinction.
The Imperial Pigeons are Forest Birds, it is very difficult to domesticate them. The efforts to rear and breed them in captivity have not been successful yet.
I had posted rejoinders to poet Anil Kumar Panda. But my posts have disappeared. Could you please help, PoemHunter?
This is the most adored subspecies of the species of Imperial Pigeons
Thank You, Anilji. This species of pigeons are the most beautiful. They used to be abundant in many parts of India, but are threatened of extinction

A beautiful poem. I keenly observe your positive attitude, noble intention and swift but prudent moves. I have not seen you but as per my intuition, you are an imparial and gentle learned person. I can't say anything more!
Thank You, Dillipji. I am not sore whether I deserve all the eulogies you showered on me. Still, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
