The yellow-footed green pigeon (Treron phoenicopterus), also known as yellow-legged green pigeon, is a common species of green pigeon found in the Indian subcontinent and parts of Southeast Asia.[2] It is the state bird of Maharashtra.[3][4] In Marathi, it is called Haroli or Hariyal. It is known as Haitha in Upper Assam and Haitol in Lower Assam. The species feeds on fruit, including many species of Ficus. They forage in flocks. They are habitat generalists:[5] in the early morning, they are often seen sunning on the tops of emergent trees in dense forest areas, especially Banyan trees,[6] but they have also been spotted in natural remnants in urban areas.[5] Their population is currently increasing.[5]
