These birds are fairly coon in the Sandton area and can be found in the wild date bush i think??

But they are beautiful!!

I see these little fella's flying around almost every sunday when I play golf in the Centurion Area.

Saw quite a few of them along the Garden Route in December.

Often seen in our garden:

If I google search image( Pigeon: Rameron), there are not much.

The new name is African Olive-Pigeon.

Beautiful birds

lovely pictures Naomi

I have a couple of pairs nesting in the hedge/trees on my property. They are truly lovely birds. Was quite surprised to see them initially. They seem to disappear in winter, although they are not migratory, but are back during the spring which is about the time they breed. If you look up Roberts you'll find quite a lots of information.

I am in hurligham and we get as many as 15 rameron's at a time in the garden. They seem to like eating small acorns ?, or foraging around them.

I've been seeing groups of them for the past couplie years when driving through the Houghton area on my way to work in Rosebank - first time I nearly - well actually I did - run off the road I was so excited!!

They really make an awesome Pigeon Pie.

Scipio. How could you I trust the next Rameron Pigeon pie you eat gives you a really runny tummy

Can we hand you a spoon to stir with, Scips?

Not to worry Pops, I'll freeze him like a pie if he aims at our pigeons.

You guys mean nobody ever had Green pigeon pie before. They are a bit stringy, but if you....

Well, they are a nice tick.
