The orange-breasted green pigeon is a pigeon found across tropical Asia south of the Himalaya, across parts of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is a forest species, widely distributed from the Terai and lower Himalayas, below 1,500m, south mainly in the Western and Eastern Ghats and in Sri Lankan forests (Wikipedia, general species account).
The nest is the typical flimsy platform of a few twigs, holding two white eggs, incubated by both sexes and hatching in about 12 to 14 days. The sources opened do not name Bhutan, and give no plumage or diet detail.
