Short Description:

The Yellow-footed Pigeon is a medium-sized pigeon with predominantly green plumage. It has a yellow patch on its under tail coverts and distinctive yellow legs, which give it its name. The bird's wings may display shades of gray and brown, and it has a red patch around the eye. The tail is long and graduated, with a distinctive yellow tip.

The Yellow-footed Pigeon is primarily found in the arid and semi-arid regions of Pakistan, particularly in the southern and western parts of the country. It inhabits a variety of habitats, including dry scrublands, thorny forests, agricultural areas, and urban environments.

Yellow-footed Pigeons are often seen in pairs or small groups, foraging on fruiting trees and shrubs for berries, fruits, and seeds. They are relatively adaptable birds and can be found in a range of environments, including cities, towns, villages, and rural areas. During the breeding season, which typically occurs from spring to summer, Yellow-footed Pigeons build simple nests of twigs and grass in trees or shrubs. Both parents share incubation duties and care for the young chicks until they fledge. The species is known for its soft cooing call, which is a common sound in its habitat and is often heard throughout the day.
