Indian Golden Oriole can be found in various habitats, including woodlands, forests, and gardens across the country. It is particularly prevalent in the northern regions of Pakistan, such as the Himalayan foothills and the Punjab province. During the breeding season, these birds may venture into more urban areas, attracted by fruiting trees and abundant foliage.
Indian Golden Oriole is known for its melodious, flute-like song, which it uses to communicate and establish territories. During the breeding season, males can be observed performing elaborate courtship displays to attract mates. They are primarily frugivorous, feeding on a variety of fruits and occasionally insects. Their agile nature allows them to forage adeptly amidst foliage, where they can often be seen hopping from branch to branch in search of food. Outside of the breeding season, they may form small flocks, especially during migration. Overall, these orioles contribute to the rich avian diversity of Pakistan’s ecosystems.
