Indian Golden Oriole (Oriolus kundoo)

A rare winter migrant to the lowlands and lower hill wooded areas, occurring either singly or in small flocks. It feeds on fruits—particularly figs and berries—as well as insects, especially caterpillars. Indian Golden Oriole breeds in the hills of Baluchistan, northern and eastern Afghanistan, Nepal, and parts of India, including the Himalayan region.
