In the humid lowland forests and mangrove edges of Southeast Asia, this emerald-glossed fruit eater glides through the canopy with unhurried calm. It feeds on figs and soft berries, carefully selecting ripe fruit before swallowing it whole. What makes it extraordinary is its role as a tireless seed courier — carrying the forest’s future across rivers, islands, and fragmented woodlands where regeneration depends on wings. Subtle in movement yet luminous in color, a gentle gardener of the treetops.
